[PATCH 2.24] powerpc: Prevent building POWER8 code without support in assembler
- From: "Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho" <tuliom at linux dot vnet dot ibm dot com>

- Subject: [PATCH 2.24] powerpc: Prevent building POWER8 code without support in assembler
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Confirm if the assembler supports the submachine specified at --with-cpu
or required by --enable-multi-arch preventing errors at build time.
The minimum Binutils version supported (v2.22) doesn't support POWER8
which is used on --enable-multi-arch.
2016-07-20 Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho <tuliom@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* sysdeps/powerpc/configure: Auto-generate.
* sysdeps/powerpc/configure.ac: Check if the assembler supports
the submachine.
