powerpcspe status? toolchain issues

[Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>]

Hi,

I would like to know what the status is for powerpcspe. The build log
statistics don't look too promising:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/stats/graph-big.png

With gcc-4.8 cross compiling eglibc 2.19 started to fail:
https://jenkins.debian.net/view/rebootstrap/job/rebootstrap_powerpcspe_gcc48_nobiarch/5/console

gcc-4.9 doesn't even build a stage1, but runs into ICEs instead.
https://jenkins.debian.net/view/rebootstrap/job/rebootstrap_powerpcspe_gcc49_nobiarch/5/console

Are there intentions to fix this or should I stop testing
cross-buildability of powerpcspe with rebootstrap[1]?

Please CC me in replies.

Helmut
