[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 1/1] toolchain/toolchain-buildroot: PPC64(LE) support in musl requires ALTIVEC

[Yann E. MORIN]

Vincent, All,

On 2020-02-04 15:35 -0600, Vincent Fazio spake thusly:
> musl currently assumes all PPC64(LE) CPUs support ALTIVEC instructions.
> 
> However, there are exceptions (such as the e5500) for which musl builds
> ultimately generate illegal instructions for the targets.
> 
> Disable musl if the PPC64(LE) CPU does not support ALTIVEC instructions.
> 
> This patch addresses the issues seen here:
>   https://gitlab.com/kubu93/toolchains-builder/-/jobs/418092743
>   https://gitlab.com/kubu93/toolchains-builder/-/jobs/418092744

It's a bit unfortunate that the boot log are not visible in the job
output, though...

Applied to master, thanks.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
