I found that it doesn't build on ppc64le ( IBM PowerPC New Architecture for Little Endian ) because it was generated using an outdated version of Libtool. We have worked with Libtool maintainer to get alpha release that supports ppc64le platform. For the same, stable release is expected by end of the year. Can you please spin off a new version of your package using the alpha Libtool release. Libtool alpha release is available in below mention sites : ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.gz (1.6MB) ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.418.tar.xz (920KB) Please let me know if you need any help. Thanks and Regards, Isha Vishnoi
