 the atime (long) appears to be set correctly.
 
 I noticed this when using the "Syscall.lstat" method.
 
 Sorry if this bug should be filed under Mono and not mcs I couldn't decide
 where it should go.

+From a quick perusal, this is because
+Mono.Posix.Syscall.helper_Mono_Posix_Stat uses a C# "long" for atime
+(a 64 bit type), but helper_Mono_Posix_Stat uses a C "long" for atime.
+
+I'm assuming that your PPC arch is a 32-bit ABI, thus a C "long" is
+32-bits.  Consequently, the entire atime isn't being properly initialized.
+
+Fix: use Mono 1.1.3 or later and use Mono.Unix.Syscall.stat.  The
+Mono.Posix namespace should be considered to be DEPRECATED; Mono.Unix
+is the replacement.
