Hi,
mator on #debian-ports compiled gcc-7 for me with the attached patch. With
the resulting gcc, I compiled glibc and got a library I can use sqrtf
without running into an illegal instruction exception.
Would it be possible to get this applied by default? The resulting binaries
work on e6500, and ought to work on all supported CPUs for the ppc64 port.
