Subject: [musl] PPC64(LE) support in musl requires ALTIVEC
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2020 15:16:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <05c1e691-c0b6-f1af-4850-68670f2d915d@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

We noticed that musl toolchain doesn't work on PPC64 e5500 cpus due to
Altived instructions in src/setjmp/powerpc64/setjmp.s [1].

A patch has been sent by Vincent Fazio to the Buildroot mailing list to disable
musl for such cpus [2].

Maybe the supported-platforms list could be updated [3].

[2] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1231986/
[3] https://wiki.musl-libc.org/supported-platforms.html

Best regards,
Romain
