In terms of the codepaths, what's different between ppc64le vs ppc64, and ppc64le vs amd64 ? Obviously kernels will differ, but in terms of C/C++/other compiled source code what needs to change? If all this needs is its own profile for a CHOST/CBUILD specification and it can leverage an existing keyword, then this should be rather simple to implement yes? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlXKB7UACgkQAJxUfCtlWe1sbQD+KcbYpfo56GrLIVlFyw2iXbMB ZOWzuvyI8SVq/DY0SQMBAJgDIjCza8QyUgWEtq2/g5Yu+uWiCibf2ouMeNAOkQ33 =YoUg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
