:)... I currently don't have information about it, but will get back to 
you. Have sent mail to team here.

I am looking at released tar and not GIT repo,so that distro guys can 
directly take it from there.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lame/files/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz
It would be great if you can install new libtool and spin a new tar ball 
with new configuration files (which would have ppc64le support) and 
release tar.
Libtool is available at following

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz  (1.6MB)

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz  (920KB)

Yes , I would need tar/released version of the pkg

:)... if you release tar ball, then that new version would be added in 
the distros , we would be working on that part too.
