Re: [Libunwind-devel] Power Libunwind

[Jose Flavio Aguilar Paulino]

The problem is that the new configure.sh is not available updated in
Git.
To make it build easily just 
delete the files:
Makefile.in
src/Makefile.in
tests/Makefile.in
after that run autoconf and automake in libuniwnd root dir.
then you can run configure... the correct arch to detect would be
"ppc64"!

any doubts, just say, I would be glad to help,
