[linux-lvm] Request to spin a new version of LVM2 to support ppc64le

Hi,

I am working on a new architecture - ppc64le (powerpc 64-bit Little 
Endian) and I am building LVM2 package on our ppc64le environment 
downloaded from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/lvm2/LVM2.2.02.104.tgz
<www.libssh2.org/download/libssh2-1.4.3.tar.gz>
I found that LVM2 would require a patch to config.guess [or needs to 
pick up the latest automake (1.13.4 or above) version] from upstream.

The latest config.guess which has ppc64le patch can be found at :
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD. 


Can you please pick this up and spin a new version which would support 
ppc64le?

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thanks and Regards,
Aravind

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for?

LVM2 provides preconfigured automake & autoconf files purely for the purpose
of very simple checkout and build without the need to install those packages.

On the other hand - if you have those packages installed - you could very
easily reconfigure whole package to use those version from your system.

The most typical way should be to run  'autoreconf'.

As of now - some very old automake tools are used to create those git files,
I think it comes from Fedora 14.

It's quite a while since I updated config.guess.
I'll pick up the new version in the next release.
