Vincent, All,

On 2020-02-04 15:35 -0600, Vincent Fazio spake thusly:
> musl currently assumes all PPC64(LE) CPUs support ALTIVEC instructions.
> 
> However, there are exceptions (such as the e5500) for which musl builds
> ultimately generate illegal instructions for the targets.
> 
> Disable musl if the PPC64(LE) CPU does not support ALTIVEC instructions.

> This patch addresses the issues seen here:

It's a bit unfortunate that the boot log are not visible in the job
output, though...

Applied to master, thanks.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
