Dear Tobias, I can see that you want a proper fix.
However, after having looked at all these comments about the powerpc situation, I do not really think I'd want to ever touch that stuff. It's clearly beyond my capabilities and ressources. I do feel responsible for the regression introduced by my naive patch for PR96711, which is a breakage for sparc and powerpc. The patch was meant as a minimal solution, or rather a bandaid to fix sparc, and skip the test for powerpc, and leave the powerpc situation to someone with more knowledge of that target. If this patch is rejected, but the regression is to be fixed before gcc-11 release, I can therefore only offer to revert the patch for PR96711, to reopen it and unassign. Thanks, Harald
