Bug#1052251: gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu: gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu is not available on ppc64el (aka ppc64le)
Package: gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu
Version: 4:12.2.0-5
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
It would be nice if the big-endian 64-bit PowerPC cross-compiler driver
and its dependencies were available on ppc64el, like the 32-bit one:
$ uname -a
Linux hostname 5.14.0-1-powerpc64le #1 SMP Debian 5.14.6-3 (2021-09-28) ppc64le GNU/Linux
$ apt install gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu gcc-powerpc64le-linux-gnu gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu

Note, selecting 'gcc' instead of 'gcc-powerpc64le-linux-gnu'
E: Unable to locate package gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu

I tried to rebuild gcc-12-cross-ports-12 with this patch:

but the build failed with:

I can post more of the log if that would help (the full log is 72M), but
I suspect I omitted something that would be an obvious fix for the
package maintainer.
Thank you,
Thomas
