The upstream tarball has the config.guess,config.sub, configure and libtool files I find that kmod already has updated config.guess, which supports ppc64le. Following is the latest file, I suppose this is already in tar. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD. We have worked with libtool maintainer to get alpha source release that has all the needed bits to support building on ppc64le.We request you to spin off a new version of your package using the alpha libtool release. You can pick up the libtool alpha source release from either of the below : ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz (1.6MB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz (920KB) Could you please build and install the libtool alpha version and be able to spin new versions of kmod which would support ppc64le? Please let me know once you spin of the new pkg Your response is highly appreciated Thanks, Snehal
