I have applied this patch 
<http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-07/msg00010.html> to hopefully 
reduce the risk of regressions for anyone newly getting powerpc ports 
files where they didn't before.  Please do fix things up if this patch has 
in fact caused any problems of its own....

I don't think old tags should be copied.  Those refer to the state of the
ports repository, not to any state of the libc repository.

Thanks Joseph.

We'll fix any problems that arise.
