PPC le_to_cpu?? and vice versa...

Recompiling my kernel 2.1.90 using GCC 2.8.0 on a PPC machine I discovered
Ext2 fs trashes (group summary numbers were messed up) and tracked down
the problem to the PPC native __swab?? routines which were used by
le_to_cpu16, le_to_cpu32 and friends. (Found in linux/include/arch-ppc,
sorry, don't have things at hand.)
Commenting them out to let things fall back to architecture independent
routines fixed things, still don't know wether that was a problem of an
over-optimizing GCC or something else.
