Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

This is an auto-filled bug because dev-db/mysql-connector-c++ fails to compile on sparc. Feel free to adjust the summary to clarify the exact issue. Attached build log and emerge --info

Error is

> No byte-swap function available on big-endian platform.

Like indicated in bug 709622 comment #2 we probably need to drop keywords for sparc, ppc and ppc64.

PPC64 has little-endian variant. (Presumably PPC32 also has such variant, but no profile exists.)

So you can keep ppc64 keyword and mask dev-db/mysql-connector-c++ for big-endian PPC64:

profiles/arch/powerpc/ppc64/package.mask:dev-db/mysql-connector-c++
profiles/arch/powerpc/ppc64/64le/package.mask:-dev-db/mysql-connector-c++
