Add Linux powerpc64le and powerpcle entries	djm: ok+

Description Sevan Janiyan 2015-06-04 09:06:50 AEST

The version of config.guess shipped with the 6.9 SNAP is out of date 

Latest version (2015-03-04) can be obtained from: 
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD

Bundled version is dated 2012-12-23.
This means that configure fails on ppc64le running Linux for example.

Here's the net change.  Do we want to do this before or after the release?

I think the whole thing is too big for now, but maybe we could just add:

    ppc64le:Linux:*:*)
	echo powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
	exit ;;
    ppcle:Linux:*:*)
	echo powerpcle-unknown-linux-gnu
	exit ;;

which should get the OP going, and do the rest after release

OK.  We've added "update config.guess" to our post-release checklist so we should keep it more up to date in future.

Comment 4 Darren Tucker 2015-06-05 14:50:17 AEST

err, ignore the defines.h piece, that's something else.

ok for this bit:
