We now have a target-ppc64le? option which should be useful here.

Yes, that’s a nice code improvement. But unfortunately it’s mutually
exclusive with Maxime’s request to match against “powerpc64*”.
If people think the ‘target-ppc64le?’ alternative would be better than the
“powerpc64*” one, I can send a v3.

IMO since powerpc64-linux isn't an actually supported architecture in Guix we can ignore it for now and focus on powerpc64le. As far as powerpc, as I'm the only one using it (I believe) you can pretty much treat it like mips64el; try not to affect it unnecessarily but no testing needed.

I agree with you. I’ll send a v3 then. > As far as powerpc, as I'm the only one using it (I believe) you can > pretty much treat it like mips64el; try not to affect it unnecessarily > but no testing needed. Ok, thanks. As an aside, I tried building a powerpc64le kernel with CONFIG_COMPAT set to see if it would allow running 32-bit binaries but it fails during linking. The 32-bit support feature apparently bit-rotted.

LuaJIT isn’t ported to 64-bit PowerPC. ‘texlive-latex-base’ already disables the engines that rely on it, so just do the same in texlive-texmf. Fix suggested by Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>. * gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-texmf)[arguments]<#:phases>{texmf-config}: Disable LuaJIT engines when building for powerpc64le. --- Hello, This fixes the build of ‘texlive-texmf’ on powerpc64le. It was failing with these errors: fmtutil [ERROR]: not building luajittex due to missing engine: luajittex fmtutil [ERROR]: not building luajithbtex due to missing engine: luajithbtex Thank you very much to Mathieu for his help in making this work.
