I just added those toolchains in the autobuilder infrastructure: https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot-test/commit/ So you should see the first build results for powerpc64(le) appear on http://autobuild.buildroot.org within the next few hours. I've also added you in the DEVELOPERS file as a developer for the PowerPC architecture (which includes powerpc64/powerpc64le): https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=adec13992ce2ee333353bac71faef18ea22f7974 This way starting tomorrow morning, you will receive every day a summary of the build failures that took place on powerpc.
