• Arch qualification for buster: call for DSA, Security, toolchain co

    * Florian Weimer:

    * Concern for mips, mips64el, mipsel and ppc64el: no upstream support
    in GCC
    (Raised by the GCC maintainer; carried over from stretch)

    I'm surprised to read this. ppc64el features prominently in the
    toolchain work I do (though I personally do not work on the GCC side).

    The ppc64le situation has been clarified. It's now listed explicitly
    as a primary architecture, as powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu:

    <https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/criteria.html>

    This has always been the intent, but I can understand that
    distributions view powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu and powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu quite very different things.
