I'd like to post later today (hopefully this morning) a very minimal configure patch that adds the -mcpu=power8 and -mtune=power8 compiler options to gcc. Currently, power8 will be an alias for power7, but getting this path in now allows us to add power8 support to the compiler without having to touch the arch independent configure script. The only hang up at the moment is we're still determining the assembler mnemonic we'll be releasing that the gcc configure script will use to test for power6 assembler support. Peter
