[Libunwind-devel] [PATCH] Support for new arch 'ppc64le'

[ravi]

Hi,

       We are in the process of adding support for new architecture 'ppc64le' (PowerPC 64 Little Endian) and as part of that, We have worked with libtool maintainer to get alpha release (links below) which has all the needed bits to support building on ppc64le arch.
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz(1.6MB)
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz(920KB)
(A stable libtool release is expected soon this year)

' libunwind-1.1' didn't build on 'ppc64le' system because of outdated libtoo.m4/configure/config.guess files.
hence we request you to use latest libtool alpha release and spin off a new version of 'libcap-ng' package.
So that we can test ppc64le fixes.
Latest 'libunwind' source package we picked is from :  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/libunwind/libunwind-1.1.tar.gz

Along with above change to build machine, we have found a patch available in ubuntu, which is required to build 'unwind' successfully on 'ppc64le' system.
Im attaching the patch which is also available at ubuntu src repo ...

Your response is highly appreciated
