From 4a2dd41cb533b9d93b8578677b80b9e94d6a3f96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gabriel F. T. Gomes" Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 08:44:35 -0200 Subject: powerpc64le: Remove test for GCC 6.2 The configure fragment for powerpc64le contains a test for the presence of several compiler builtins and of the __float128 type, which are provided by GCC 6.2 for powerpc64le. Since this configure test was added, the compiler version required to build glibc for powerpc64le was different than that required for the other architectures. Now that glibc requires GCC 6.2 globally (since commit ID 4dcbbc3b28aa), this patch removes the powerpc64le-specific test. Even tough the configure test checks for compiler features rather than compiler version, the intent of the test was to stop build attempts at early stages, if they had been configured with a too old compiler. It was not the intention of the test to detect compiler breakage (such as the removal of the required compiler features in future GCC versions), and glibc is not the place to test for compiler regressions, anyway. Tested for powerpc64le with GCC 6.2 (built with build-many-glibcs.py).
