I'd like to just merge powerpc-common & powerpc-linux (as powerpc-linux 32-bit) for now and start a new powerpc-common that refactors 32/64 commonalities. >>>> >>>> Unless someone says otherwise about the meaning of these files. >>> >>> powerpc-common is shared between uclibc and eglibc at present and may >>> be shared with other OSes that may build with OE in future. >>> traditionally powerpc-common implicitly implied 32bit so I am not >>> surprised if its broken for ppc64.

Glad you fixed uclibc, btw, that had me scratching my head on a few things we do today :) -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation
