The PPC32 dbcz semantics don't seem to work properly on 8xx
in all cases. Removing the '.S' file makes glibc fall back on
the .c implementation. 
Hi Jason, 

That was a quick response - thanks.

Two questions:

- Do you happen to know about details of dcbz's (mis)behaviour on 8xx? 
This is the famus dcbX bug on 8xx CPUs. 8xx dcbX instructions don't update the
DAR register when they cause a TLB Miss/Error. This bug is undocumented but
Motorola/Freescale has verified that it is there.
