- ppc64le-support.patch: Support powerpc64le-linux.
- ppc64le-support.patch from IBM fixes endianness
in lcms (the Little-CMS library) to support the new
architecture ppc64le (IBM Power PC Little Endian architecture)
because ppc64 is big-endian and ppc64le is little-endian
and lcms has a hard-coded check that assumes PowerPC
is always big-endian which is incorrect on ppc64le.
The fix is already in the main Little-CMS repository
by this Git commit
https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS/commit/b4f5c91a2c1582bd284f0d0f49cb43e2c2235a79
(There are some cosmetic changes in the upstream patch.)
It is not yet in the imported copy in Ghostscript.
IBM will work with upstream to get the fix imported too.
