Hi,We are in the process of adding support for new arch 'ppc64le' (powerpc 64-bit Little Endian) and I was looking at building " emacs23" package on ppc64le environment and found that "emacs23" package require a patch to config.guess file found in the emacs23 release tarball. Fortunately , automake >=1.13.4 has all the needed bits to support building on ppc64le arch.
We would like to request you to upgrade "automake" in your build machine to >=1.13.4 and spin-off a new version of "emacs23" and let us know the new tar availability. So that we can test it on ppc64le architecture for you.
the release tarball that we picked is from "http://mirrors.ispros.com.bd/gnu/emacs/emacs-24.3.tar.gz" , which doesn't have the ppc64le support.
Your response is highly appreciated. -- Ravindran IBM LinuxTechnologyCenter
