Bug ID: 59909
Summary: Quad memory bootstrap issues on little endian
powerpc64 power8 systems
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: meissner at gcc dot gnu.org
Using the current sources, the GCC 4.9 compiler will not bootstrap if the
default target is power8 on a little endian system. The cause is the new quad
word load/store support does not deal with swapping words after doing the load,
and before doing the store.
