Description Brent Baude 2012-09-04 13:36:08 UTC
Created attachment 609689 [details]
patch glibc spec for ppc64p7

RPM (as of 4.9.1.3-6.fc17) now honors a %{power64} macro that leads to additional subarchitectures  (ppc64p7 -- optimized arch for POWER7) coming in F18.  The glibc spec has to be altered slightly to take advantage of this.  Namely, many (but not all) of the ifarch ppc64s use the %{power64} macro. 

I also included two additional changes.

1) add --with-cpu=power7 to configure when the ppc64p7 arch is detected.  
2) for %{power64} archs, manually set the target to ppc64-redhat-linux


A patch will be provided.

Comment 1 Jeff Law 2012-09-04 17:37:53 UTC
Note the patch was reversed.  I applied the patch by hand to f18 & rawhide.
