- Subject: [PATCH] PowerPC: Use __builtin_ppc_get_timebase when building with GCC >= 4.8
Adapts __ppc_get_timebase to the upcoming GCC 4.8 that provides
__builtin_ppc_get_timebase.
Building glibc with previous versions of GCC will continue to use the
internal implementation.
2012-10-23 Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho <tuliom@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* sysdeps/powerpc/sys/platform/ppc.h (__ppc_get_timebase): Use
__builtin_ppc_get_timebase when building with GCC >= 4.8 instead
of the internal implementation.
