Hi Chandan, Are you looking for a one-time build w/ this new libtool so you can try it on ppc64le machines? Or are you hoping I will use the newer libtool for future FreeIPMI releases?
The latter is more difficult for me todo, but I could do a one-off for ppc64le people to try out. Is this related to any work going on at Redhat? Within the last few months, several PPC related patches came from Redhat.
