It has been a week since the libsanitizer patches were checked in, which broke the PowerPC64 Linux system along with others (PR 59009 for powerpc). Please revert these patches while you are working on proper fixes for all of the hosts and targets.
Quoting from the GCC development plan: Patch Reversion If a patch is committed which introduces a regression on any target which the Steering Committee considers to be important and if: the problem is reported to the original poster; 48 hours pass without the original poster or any other party indicating that a fix will be forthcoming in the very near future; two people with write privileges to the affected area of the compiler determine that the best course of action is to revert the patch; then they may revert the patch. (The list of important targets will be revised at the beginning of each release cycle, if necessary, and is part of the release criteria.) After the patch has been reverted, the poster may appeal the decision to the Steering Committee. Note that no distinction is made between patches which are themselves buggy and patches that expose latent bugs elsewhere in the compiler. -- Michael Meissner, IBM IBM, M/S 2506R, 550 King Street, Littleton, MA 01460, USA email: meiss...@linux.vnet.ibm.com, phone: +1 (978) 899-4797
