Excellent. This means you are using the toolchain provided
by debian (and not rolling your own... some of us are doing this
and I wanted to clarify your position).

I'm not running any PARISC boxes in unstable (although I'm going
to so I can test stuff like this)... so could you tell me the 
version of your compilier and linker?

# gcc -v
# ld -v

Things can and will go wrong... but debugging info always helps :)
Trying to segregate toolchain issues is going to be my new quest.

As Willy said "I'm so happy to see someone interested in toolchain
work!" ;)

If you could apply the following patch and test your power button
again:
