Troy,
My POWER8 is actually a QEMU emulator (same goes for my AARCH64).
However, the real thing (with 2sockets * 10cores * 8threads) exists in the
GCC compile farm as gcc112.
It is my understanding that with IBMs hypervisor one can run both LE and BE
partitions simultaneously. So, probably no re

Sweet -- I put your patch in here:

I had an opportunity to try the 1.8.5rc2 tarball on a little-endian POWER8
(aka ppc64el or powerpc64le).
The good news is that things "just worked" as they did when I tried ARMv8
(aka aarch64).
However, I see a little room for improvement with almost no work at all.
