Re: Mesa 25.2 patch

[Link Electronics <link4electronics@gmail.com>]

I thought that it would be possible since firefox is already using
patches from Solaris (and maybe from René Rebe too?) to make it work
and didn't see them being sent as PR at microsoft github, so if
firefox provided by debian ports is using patches, why not mesa
provided by debian ports too?
@Michel Dänzer The idea would be to apply this patch only for powerpc
32-bit, powerpc 64-bit big-endian, motorola 68k and s390x, It wouldn't
be applied for little-endian systems mesa package.

Best regards,
Link.
