Comment (by evanmiller):

 The PPC assembler code included with the Boost {{{context}}} module has a
 few problems:

 * Its comments are prefixed with # instead of ;
 * The exit function is suffixed with @plt, which confuses the assembler
 * The {{{addi}}} instruction does not accept a 32-bit value

 I took a stab at fixing these issues, but the tests didn't immediately
 pass so I punted on it.
