Still not right though, sorry.

You ended up doing:

-	  ppc64-*linux*|powerpc64-*linux*)
+	  powerpcle-*)
+	    LD="${LD-ld} -m elf32lppclinux"
+	    ;;
+	  powerpc-*)

but the original wanted:

-	  ppc64-*linux*|powerpc64-*linux*)
+	  powerpc64le-*)
+	    LD="${LD-ld} -m elf32lppclinux"
+	    ;;
+	  powerpc64-*)

But, the originally supplied version confuses me yet again, so I'm not
committing the fix myself...

How can it be correct to say "-m elf32lppclinux" (32-bit) when $host is
explicitly 64-bit? That seems like utter garbage to me. What am I
missing this time?

Cheers,
Peter
