Hello support, I have problem upgrading gentoo on my pegasos II G4. After 'emerge --update --deep world' globc fails during meke with following error: (...) running configure fragment for sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc checking whether powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -pipe -mcpu=7400 -freorder-blocks -O2 -mlong-double-128 uses IBM extended format... no checking whether powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -pipe -mcpu=7400 -freorder-blocks -O2 supports -mabi=ibmlongdouble... no configure: error: this configuration requires -mlong-double-128 IBM extended format support !!!
