Hi
We are adding support for new ppc64le (IBM powerPC Little Endian)
architecture as part of which we are looking at all the packages that
need update.
I was looking at gnats-4.1.0 and found that the package has the outdated
config.guess.
I noticed one interesting thing that even though gnats-4.1.0 does have
outdated config.guess(config.guess without ppc64le support), I was able
to build it on ppc64le machine.
I guess this is because configure script available in the package does
not use the config.guess file. If you have any idea why this is
happening , it will be great if you can share with us.
Even gnats-4.1.0(tar) with outdated config.guess is building
successfully on ppc64le, there is no harm to have updated config.guess.
Latest config.guess with ppc64le support is available at :
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD
Would it be possible for you to spin up a newer version of "gnats" with
latest config.guess ?
Alternatively, if you want us to send a patch to config.guess, we can do
so too.
I can help to validate the new release tarball of the "ffe" works well
by compiling on ppc64le machine.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Chandan
