The glibc LE powerpc support

[Joseph S. Myers]

Where the commits of glibc support for LE powerpc have fixed bugs filed in 
Bugzilla, please remember to add those bugs to the list of fixed bugs in 
the NEWS file and to close those bugs as fixed.  Apart from the bugs you 
mentioned in the ChangeLog, did you conclude whether these changes fixed 
bug 5268 or not?

There should be a NEWS file entry for the addition of LE powerpc support 
(as a significant new feature in 2.19), and it should be added to the list 
of supported configurations in the README file.

I've filed bug 15998 for the arch_minimum_kernel issue (and 15997 for that 
issue for x32).

Is the LE support intended to work for 32-bit, or only for 64-bit?  If 
it's meant to work for 32-bit, you should also ensure that 
libc_cv_gcc_unwind_find_fde=yes is *not* set in that case, as that's only 
for backwards binary compatibility.  If not, make sure it's disallowed for 
32-bit at configure time.
