Hi
We are adding support for new ppc64le (IBM powerPC Little Endian)
architecture. I was looking at the package nettle from the latest
release tarball (
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-2.7.1.tar.gz ) and also
from the git source (git://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle.git) and it
failed to build the package on ppc64le machine because of outdated
config.guess. since currently available config.guess does not have
support for ppc64le it fails to guess correct build type.
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
I verified building the package with latest config.guess mentioned above
and it built fine in ppc64le platform.
I would also like to inform that all make check test cases successfully
passed in the new platform ppc64le.
Would it be possible to spin up a newer version of nettle for the
distros to pick up from the upstream release tarball, which would
support ppc64le.
Please do let me know if you will be picking up the patches from
upstream or you would require local patches to be provided. I can send
out the patches to you.
I can help to validate the new release of the package works well by
compiling on ppc64le machine.
Appreciate your response
Thanks and Regards
