--- Comment #12 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke at blastwave dot org> --- Thanks .. I'll give that a try. The real objective here is to get a simple native bootstrap going which includes libquadmath. My concern is that there is no support for that unless the ppc64 system has the POWER AVX support and that certainly isn't the older PPC970 chips.
