If you have a PPC based box, please give it a try.
Thanks,

My ppc box is a Mandrake cooker (devel distro): I ran:
Unfortunally, I don't have the C/asm knowledge to help more :(
cvs update -dC
make clean
perl Configure.PL
make
ops/core_ops_switch.c
as -o src/asmfun.o src/asmfun.s

Adding -mregnames to the as call makes it compile for me, but it
apparently doesn't export the symbol properly:
blib/lib/libparrot.a(jit_cpu.o)(.text+0x2722): In function
`Parrot_end_jit':
src/jit_cpu.c:74: undefined reference to
`Parrot_ppc_jit_restore_nonvolatile_registers'
blib/lib/libparrot.a(jit_cpu.o)(.text+0x2726):src/jit_cpu.c:74:

Ah, here it is. For whatever reason, it doesn't strip the leading
underscore from the symbol name. (GNU as allows symbols to start with
word characters, but I don't see a flag to remove a prefix.)
Compiling the file manually with the -mregnames flag and applying this
patch fixes the build for me.

Ok. I've duplicate jit/ppc/asm.s to jit/ppc/ppc-linux.s, removed the
leading underscore and the register name prefixes.
config/auto/jit.pl should now use this file for the platform
"ppc-linux".

Thanks to Olivier and your for providing feedback,

Eek. That should read "Can someone *confirm* that #32514 can be closed?".

Can someone that #32514 can be closed?

And #27414 along with it:

Thanks.

I don't see the failures (and have never seen them). Both of the tests
mentioned there pass with make testj. (Only t/pmc/eval.t #4 fails, and
I'll look at that later.)
