The error you reported should not have happened. Your PPC compiles things
(*every* thing) big-endian. So sock.o was not compiled on your system.
This is the project's fault; complain to them.
It really has nothing to do with the source (though you may find
source-level problems later); it's most likely a Makefile problem.
