> I'll also take a closer look at the asm code; it's probably just
incompatible to the ppc64 ABI when linked dynamically.
The assembly code cannot work with dynamic linking, as all of its
functions lack function descriptors.
I'll try to fix that tomorrow, although presumably not [yet] by an
upstream-ready patch, as the `.asm` (`m4`) files are itself generated by
`m4`, but normally not at build time. Unfortunately also the real
assembler (`.s`) files, which are generated from the `.asm` files, aren't
kept, so it's impossible to (temporarily) patch these.
