BZ #21: regression tests accessing longs fail on ppc

Status fields:

cacao 0.94/0.95 built with gnu-classpath 0.20 and jikes 1.22 on Gentoo powerpc Linux

'make check' fails in the codepatching directory for tests operating on longs:

getfield (J): FAILED: 8213163617277379787 != 1234567890123
putfield (J): FAILED: 8213163617277379787 != 1234567890123
putfieldconst (J,D,L): FAILED: 8213163617277379787 != 123456789012

In each case, the lower word is getting duplicated into the high word. I first
saw this failure in building 0.94, and I was hoping that it would have been
fixed in version 0.95 after seeing the changelog:
powerpc bugfix: (M_COPY): Handle longs and doubles properly.

However, the problem did not go away in 0x95, so I guess either the changelog
refers to a separate issue or else it wasn't a complete fix...

This issue was fixed in SVN trunk.  Please try that one.

svn trunk doesn't seem to build on ppc starting around r4598. I just tried the
latest, r4745, with following error:

Can you recommend a rev that I could use to verify if this bug is really fixed?

SVN trunk does work, but you need to use a GNU Classpath CVS head version.
