        If you can't find them (and I seriously doubt you will), there
        is no work-around: you need PPC binary code and the only way to
        get that is having the source code (which is Oracle
        proprietary) or Oracle decided to have a port for PPC
        (unlikely). If there is such a port, Oracle would know about
        it: ask them directly. They'd be happy to sell it to you.

        P.S.: The above statement holds for any proprietay code from
        any vendor.
