Yes. The PPC Mac version of libCDraw.a was built on the Mac under Mac  
OS X and the ppc libCDraw.a currently in svn was built on Linux (I  
assume). Different build routes but similar toolchains and therefore  
similar libraries would result, I assume.

I think that's why Brian was asking about ppc versions of libCDraw.a  
in the context of a post about the xcode build.

Yes, finding and fixing problems in the Linux/ppc combination will  
help to resolve byte-order issues with the Mac version.
