Subject: no 32-bit support on LE powerpc64le
Date: Tue, 02 Jun 2015 16:28:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <556DBDA5.2000209@redhat.com> (raw)

Hello all,

we have a problem to build kernel-4.0 on ppc64le. The real problem is 
that there's no 32 bit code generator support in gcc on the ppc64le.
So the option NO_PERF_READ_VDSO32 should be set to 1 on ppc64le.

I have create a patch which fixes the issue for me.
