Hi! I have been watching the popcon statistics for powerpc and ppc64 [1] and the number of machines running the powerpc or ppc64 ports is slowly rising since we got GRUB working :). Thanks to everyone who is enabling the popularity contest package, maybe we will overtake ppc64el with the ppc64 port, who knows ;).
I have both ppc64 and ppc64le running and everything seems fine with
the exception of some strange floating point behavior. I think that the
ppc64 world uses an IBM double 64-bit weird format to store the 128-bit
long double data. Other than that it all seems to work.
