It will be a couple/few weeks before I again have powerpc64 or powerpc access. I've just been monitoring powerpc64 & powerpc things in hopes of things working once I have access again --or at least my knowing what to do to sidestep issues and what sequence to progress in from what I had in very early 2016-June when I lost access temporarily.

I wonder if the various(?) binutil port(s) that are 2.27 based now and can be built to target powerpc64/powerpc should be marked broken for powerpc64/powerpc until this is figured out.

Re: binutils 2.27 [not working for powerpc64 (and powerpc?)]
Has anyone succeeded in bisecting upstream binutils, to see where this problem was introduced? -Dimitry On 20 Sep 2016, at 22:56, Mark Millard <mar...@dsl-only.net> wrote: > > The below forward from freebsd-pcc's list confirms that binutils 2.27 not > working for powerpc64 (& powerpc?) contexts. > > Note: Krzysztof Parzyszek is one of the two people that have recently been > working on updating clang/llvm for fixing some of the issues that block > FreeBSD from using clang for powerpc and powerpc64 for buildworld and > buildkernel. > > === > Mark Millard > markmi at dsl-only.net > > On 2016-Sep-20, at 11:19 AM, Krzysztof Parzyszek > wrote: > >> I've had similar problems after building gcc-4.8.

Re: binutils 2.27 [not working for powerpc64 (and powerpc?)]
The below forward from freebsd-pcc's list confirms that binutils 2.27 not working for powerpc64 (& powerpc?) contexts. Note: Krzysztof Parzyszek is one of the two people that have recently been working on updating clang/llvm for fixing some of the issues that block FreeBSD from using clang for powerpc and powerpc64 for buildworld and buildkernel. === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net On 2016-Sep-20, at 11:19 AM, Krzysztof Parzyszek wrote: > I've had similar problems after building gcc-4.8.
