 Thanks for the patch: committed.
 We may want to avoid generating .align directives, since they are not
 really useful on ppc.
 Leaving the bug open for the other issue on load you mentioned.

+The problem stemmed from the direct usage of the ld to do the linking. Changing to use 
+gcc fixes the problem. However, I've found additional problems with the generated 
+assembly:  1) label and .globl directives need to have leading underscore character on 
+mach-o; 2) branch absolute instructions must not be used for non-relocated branches 
+(such as MONO_PATCH_INFO_BB patches).
+
+I will file a separate bug for the 2nd issue. I think the bug is in how ppc_patch() works.
