[gentoo-ppc-dev] unmasking shorten & shntool (plus xemacs stuff)

[sheltone]

The latest versions in portage (media-sound/shorten-2.5.1 & 
media-sound/shntool-1.2.3) build and work fine under ppc and can be unmasked 
(there isn't even a -ppc or ~ppc in the ebuild).

I also tossed up a patch for xemacs on the message board

Just append this to the existing xemacs-21.4.9-ppc.diff.  Looking at the Changes 
file distributed with xemacs, it looks like ppc.ldscript was a workaround put in 
place for PPC Linux about 5 years ago.  Now it seems to cause xemacs to fail to 
build, as documented by the original poster.  For what it's worth, I built 
xemacs-21.4.11, and it compiled and runs OK.  Perhaps xemacs-2.4.11 can be 
unmasked for ppc?
