Hi

I've downloaded version 8.34 from PCRE.org .
And I do see a ppc64le:Linux line in config.guess .

Moreover, I was able to compile this PCRE version, with a basic ./configure,
and to run the tests with no error, on Linux on Power, LE .

I saw no issue with libtool.

However, I have found some failures when using some options of ./configure.
Some of these failures also appear on my Linux/Intel machine, and some are
specific to the Linux/Power64/LE machine, including the JIT issue Zoltan talked
about.

--with-pcregrep-bufsize=50K    :       Issue on LoP and on Linux/Intel

        error: fixed-point types not supported for this target
CC       pcregrep-pcregrep.o
In file included from pcregrep.c:47:0:
config.h:252:26: error: fixed-point types not supported for this target
 #define PCREGREP_BUFSIZE 50K
                          ^
pcregrep.c:161:23: note: in expansion of macro ‘PCREGREP_BUFSIZE’
 static int bufthird = PCREGREP_BUFSIZE;
                       ^

 --enable-jit                   : Illegal instruction (core dumped)     Issue
on LoP but OK on Linux/Intel.

 --enable-bsr-anycrlf           : FAIL: RunTest 
In some cases (different options used) on LoP, this test fails.
See below for details (KO = failure. OK = success).

  KO  ./configure --enable-pcre16 --enable-pcre32 --enable-utf
--enable-newline-is-any --enable-bsr-anycrlf
   OK ./configure --enable-pcre16 --enable-pcre32 --enable-utf
--enable-newline-is-any
   OK ./configure                                                              
       --enable-bsr-anycrlf
   OK ./configure                                             
--enable-newline-is-any --enable-bsr-anycrlf
   OK ./configure                                 --enable-utf
--enable-newline-is-any --enable-bsr-anycrlf
   OK ./configure                 --enable-pcre32                              
       --enable-bsr-anycrlf
  KO  ./configure                 --enable-pcre32 --enable-utf
--enable-newline-is-any --enable-bsr-anycrlf
   OK ./configure                 --enable-pcre32             
--enable-newline-is-any --enable-bsr-anycrlf
  KO  ./configure                 --enable-pcre32 --enable-utf                 
       --enable-bsr-anycrlf     Kaput aussi sur mon PC
   OK ./configure                                 --enable-utf                 
       --enable-bsr-anycrlf

Hope it helps

Tony
