You all do realize that most distributions will update config.guess and libtool as needed to support new arches, right? That's what at least Gentoo and (at least for some cases) Fedora do, and I'm pretty sure other distributions have similar if not identical procedures. Diego Elio Pettenò —

Thanks Chu I have tested the freeipmi-1.3.4.ppc64le.1.tar.gz and able to build it on ppc64le machine. One question on the frreipmi release. When you are going to release a new version of freeipmi and are you going to release the new version by keeping the these changes? Appreciate your response.

Hi Chandan, I can do it for 1.3.4 and release a special tarball just for this newer libtool, and perhaps on-demand as it is needed. But I cannot update the build process to use it everytime. Al On Wed, 2014-01-15 at 12:53 +0530, Chandan wrote: Hi Chu, we are looking at new release tarball

Hi Chandan, Are you looking for a one-time build w/ this new libtool so you can try it on ppc64le machines? Or are you hoping I will use the newer libtool for future FreeIPMI releases? The latter is more difficult for me todo, but I could do a one-off for ppc64le people to try out. Is this
