Hi,
I'm working on a powerpc64 port, I've been at it 2 weeks non-stop. I
don't know if I'll finish. But I gotta say hey! this is a generous offer.
Since I'm focusing on the big endian machine byte order and on PowerPC
970's it would need to be ported again to little endian afaik. If it's
possible to run on a Power9 in big endian mode this would be cool.
I believe I am not worthy of such a machine and only worthy if I port
OpenBSD to my PowerPC 970FX cpu. Let's take our time and wait to see if
I or anyone else moves in a positive direction in this area.
BTW I've been working on a cross-compiler to powerpc64 today. I used
kevlo's riscv cross compiler port and modified it. Unfortunately I
started before sunrise and it's sunset now and i haven't managed to get
cross-gcc working. I may succeed tomorrow.
Regards,
-peter

Serious attempts only.
