Re: [Libunwind-devel] Power Libunwind

[prasun3]

I'm facing problems with my build because the configure detects the
platform as powerpc64 instead of ppc64 and looks for files named
*powerpc64* instead of *ppc64*

Is there a way to configure this?

Also, does this patch apply to 32-bit Power3 AIX too?
