+<h3>Ports to Other Architectures</h3>
+Paul Mackerras has an experimental port of Valgrind 2.1.0 to PowerPC/Linux 
+(<a href="http://ozlabs.org/~paulus/valgrind-2.1.0-ppc.tar.bz2">download</a>).
+<p>
+Some caveats:
+<ul>It only supports 32-bit instructions at present (no 64-bit instructions).
+<ul>It doesn't handle Altivec (SIMD) instructions.
+<ul>There are no PowerPC-specific suppression files yet, so libc.so and ld.so
+    cause a lot of errors.
+<ul>The code to set cache parameters in cachegrind is pretty minimal at
+    present.
+</ul>
