I presume that the PPC code might be helpful if someone wanted to
make the current Cygwin32 work for the ppc.  And perhaps would be
useful for some random other processor type that isn't supported yet?

Should #include processor-specific code files perhaps?  In other
words, add i386 and ppc subdirectories and then exceptions.cc would
just #include i386/exceptions.cc ifdef __i386__ and ditto for the ppc?
That might make things appear simpler and support other processors if
someone actually does the work?  Or should we just nuke ppc support
and worry about other processor types when the subject actually comes
up?
