commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=5acaac7122945c7588cf2328d928e1d4fb6488dd
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
Some of the powerpc CPUs supported by Buildroot are dual mode CPUs,
which means 32 Bit and 64 Bit mode is supported, and for any 64-bit
capable CPU, GCC defaults to using 64-bit, even if the toolchain tuple
starts with powerpc-* (and not powerpc64-*). This causes issues when
building toolchains with uClibc or musl.
In order to resolve this, we force GCC to understand we want to
generate 32-bit code, using the --with-cpu-32 option.
See here the gcc documentation for details about --with-cpu-32:
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
See here for a discussion on the musl mailinglist about the error:
