Created attachment 431344 [details, diff] enable target powerpc-linux-gnu for ppc64
i think this is a patch you should & send to the binutils guys. the ld/configure.tgt should include big & little endian emulations for ppc targets. since it's need to build the bootloader, i think you have a strong case for merging. please follow up with the binutils project and we can pull back in the patch that gets merged there.
Reported the bug in binutils upstream. Thanks https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19985
Hi Mike Frysinger, Could you bump binutils to version 2.26 ? Thanks Binutils-2.26 includes ppc64le patches.

the fix is in binutils-2.27. i was going to include it in 2.26.1, but someone merged that update while it was in development, so it missed out.
