linux / GNU toolchain / etc use the names "le" for the little endian architectures. Debian / dpkg architecture tags use "el" as a tongue-in-cheeck pun that it is endian little ordered. Thus there must be a missmatch of values: dpkg vs toolchain architecture: $ dpkg-architecture -appc64el dpkg-architecture: warning: specified GNU system type powerpc64le-linux-gnu does not match CC system type x86_64-linux-gnu, try setting a correct CC environment variable ... DEB_HOST_ARCH=ppc64el DEB_HOST_ARCH_BITS=64 DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=ppc64el DEB_HOST_ARCH_ENDIAN=little DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=powerpc64le DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH=powerpc64le-linux-gnu ... Note the ARCH tag which is dpkg tag, and the GNU_ tags which are what are used by binutils/gcc/etc tooling. CPU tag is what kernel uses in uname -a. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676884 Title: kdump-tools uses the wrong crashkernel command line parameter in ppc64le To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-systems/+bug/1676884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
