Thank you for your reply.
We are following up with libtool maintainer for releasing the new
version. Would keep your updated about the same.
PS: Current aplha release looks to have no issues, many upstream
maintainers have already used and released the tar, which supports ppc64le.
Thanks & regards,
Snehal
