Re: Question regarding lame pkg

Hello Regerio,

I did not hear from you since some time.
Could you please let me know if you can spin the pkg  with new 
config.guess and libtool, which has support for ppc64le and release a tar ?
This would be really a great help for enabling distro work.

config.guess  is at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD. 


Libtool is available at

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)

I did look around for vanilla powerpc 32 bit big-endian, however most of 
us are currently working on
ppc64 big-endian and ppc64 little -endian

Thanks,
Snehal
