Argh! I didn't notice that powerpc-linux was also affected.
Thanks for catching this...

I agree it's not very useful in this case. It's not something that
is conditional on the environment, but rather a known limitation.
Seeing the debugger emit this warning every time can make the user
think that something's wrong with his setup.

So, I'm all for removing it. Any objection from anyone?
