you probably want to create a new profile dir: |
| 7 |
profiles/arch/powerpc/ppc64/little-endian/ |
| 8 |
then add a make.defaults file with the right CHOST defaults. as we find |
| 9 |
packages that have problems on little endian, that provides you a safe |
| 10 |
space to mask features too. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
then create a new target for linux users: |
| 13 |
profiles/default/linux/powerpc/ppc64/13.0/64bit-userland/little-endian/ |
| 14 |
that'll inherit the arch/powerpc/ppc64/little-endian parent |

i said "ppc little endian", not "ppc64le". historically speaking, ppc64le |
| 20 |
hasn't been a thing, and the only people doing ppc little endian are 32bit |
| 21 |
embedded users. that doesn't mean we can't make stages/iso for both. |

ideally someone on the ppc side would pick you up, but i think they've been |
| 27 |
a bit of a skeleton team of late. so if need be, i can help you here. |

do you have hardware ? then it's simply a matter of booting Gentoo in it and |
| 40 |
filing/fixing bugs :). |
