Attachment: top-level config.log

Comment 2

[Douglas]

Explicitly adding

ac_add_options --build=powerpc64-linux
ac_add_options --host=powerpc64-linux
ac_add_options --target=powerpc64-linux

to .mozconfig doesn't help. The error remains the same.

The top-level config.log is attached.

Comment 3

[Tim (fmdeveloper)]

Douglas -> Are you trying to build Firefox 9 for PPC? AFAIK PPC is not supported with versions >=4.

Moving to correct component for further triage/confirmation of support

We actually have ppc ppc64 working fine in gentoo with gcc-4.5.3, you need to test with gcc-4.5.x to rule gcc out of the mixture as the culprit.

Comment 5

[Steve Singer (:stevensn)]

I am seeing a similar error with the current mozilla-central with a ppc64 debian (wheezy pre-release).  I get this error with both gcc 4.6 and gcc 4.4.

Comment 6

[Steve Singer (:stevensn)]

I see this on debian powerpc on a 64 bit machine,which is different than the debian ppc64 port.  In this configuration it is calling gcc/g++ and as for a 32 bit build.  The problem is that OS_ARCH is still powerpc64 so it tries to assemble xptcinvoke_asm_ppc64_linux in 32 bit mode.  Adding -m64 to the assembler command lines will get past this error.

However if you intend to do a 32 bit build on debian powerpc with a 64 bit CPU you can force this with the flags --host powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu 
That should get it to use the 32 bit version xptinvoke_asm_ppc

Comment 7

[Cameron Kaiser [:spectre]]

I'm going to mark WFM since the ppc64 build was fixed with bug 1576303 and the 32-bit release does compile (it just has other issues).
