I downloaded subversion id 223451 of GCC and tried to build it on my big endian power7 system running Sles 11r3, and it would not build due to the use of the .abiversion pseudo op that is not available in either the host assembler or in the Advance Toolchain 7.0 assembler.
Created attachment 35580 [details] Proposed patch to fix the problem I just wrote this patch, and I'm starting a bootstrap build with it.
The proposed patch allows the big endian powerpc build to build and install.
