The libtool.m4 patch has finally been reviewed and accepted upstream.
I'd like to import upstream libtool into gcc to support powerpc64le,
and please, can someone do the same for upstream libgo? The reason we
need this patch is that on a powerpc64le linux host where the compiler
defaulted to producing 64-bit objects (which is how we generally build
compilers nowadays) libtool added -m elf64ppc to $LD. Being the
option for 64-bit big-endian, that caused complete failure for
64-bit little-endian.
libjava is using a rather old version of libtool. Importing doesn't
seem an option there, so for libjava patch acinclude.m4. Please don't
ask me to modify libjava configure and makefiles to use current
libtool. I tried, and failed.
