Description Alan Modra 2015-12-12 10:23:26 UTC 
This results in failures assembling "mfcr r,mask" and also wrong "at" branch hints.  See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19359 for a testcase.
Comment 1 Peter Bergner 2015-12-15 23:50:28 UTC 
As I mentioned in the binutils bug, I think -mcpu=powerpc64le should mimic -mcpu=power8.  I'll have a look at making that change.
