 Ulrich: that is good info. mcrxr is present in both the spec from
 Motorola on ppc32 and in the ppc970-specific info from IBM.
 The G5 machine we run mono on is indeed running MacOSX, so we don't
 see the issue there. I'll try to get some info from Apple about that.
 As for the issues you had on the G3: current mono from cvs has the
 issue probably fixed, if you have time to try it out.

+The mcrxr instruction is being phased out. It does not exist on any of 
+our POWER 4 architecture machines. 
+ 
+To avoid software emulation of the instruction, please consider using 
+the CR register directly (by setting Rc=1 in the opcodes that support 
+it).
