Hi!
What's the reason why ppc-linux and s390-linux targetted GCC
requires 64-bit HWI these days?
If it is a native compiler, this means using long long in a huge part
of the compiler and therefore slower compile times and bigger memory
consumption.
ppc-linux configured compiler (nor s390-linux) isn't multilibbed and
ppc-linux only supports -m32 (s390-linux one apparently supports
both -m31 and -m64 on the GCC side, but without multilibs it isn't very
helpful).
Say i386 or sparc-linux which also only support -m32 don't require 64-bit
HWI, while if you target x86_64 or sparc64-linux which support both -m32
and -m64 obviously 64-bit HWI is required.
