-- Valgrind now works on PPC64/Linux. [XXX: more details...]
+- Valgrind now works on PPC64/Linux. As with the AMD64/Linux port,
+ this supports programs using to 32G of address space. On
+ 64-bit capable PPC64/Linux setups, you get a dual architecture
+ build so that both 32-bit and 64-bit executables can be run.
+ Linux on POWER5 is supported, and POWER4 is also believed to
+ work. Both 32-bit and 64-bit DWARF2 is supported. This port is
+ known to work well with both gcc-compiled and xlc/xlf-compiled code.

- details]
+- Floating point accuracy has been improved for PPC32/Linux.
+ Specifically, the floating point rounding mode is observed on all
+ FP arithmetic operations, and multiply-accumulate instructions are
+ preserved by the compilation pipeline. This means you should
+ get FP results which are bit-for-bit identical to a native run.
+ These improvements are also present in the PPC64/Linux port.
