The configuration where it didn't work was powerpc64-openwrt-linux-musl. I'd like Nettle to work on embedded systems whenever practical. But support depends on assistance from users of those systems. As I understood it, this system needs to use the v2 ABI. I wouldhope
it's easy to detect the abi used by the configured C compiler, and then select the same prologue sequence as is currently used for little-endian. I.e., one more configure test, and changing the "ifelse(WORDS_BIGENDIAN,no," condition in powerpc64/machine.m4 to check a different configure variable.I skipped processing the assembly files with a different approach, I made the configuration check for musl and endianness variant to trigger assembly processing. You can check the fix in this branch https://git.lysator.liu.se/mamonet/nettle/-/tree/ppc64_musl_fix https://git.lysator.liu.se/mamonet/nettle/-/tree/ppc64_musl_fix Apparently, the bug reporter uses a cross-compiler for powerpc arch. It would be great to run this fix at the same bug environment since I tested the patch in different circumstances.
Your patch has no effect in my environment (OpenWrt build system), as host_os is linux-gnu, according to config.log, so it doesn't match *musl. See [1] for config.log and [2] for full compile log.
The output of powerpc64-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc -E -dM - </dev/null | sort, which was requested earlier in this thread can be seen at [3].
Thanks, Stijn

config.guess detects the C standard library based on a result from the compiler defined in "CC_FOR_BUILD" variable, for some reason OpenWrt build system failed to set that variable properly, from your config.log I can see CC_FOR_BUILD='gcc -O -g' but when I use bare musl tools I get CC_FOR_BUILD='musl-gcc'
The macro GMP_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD in aclocal.m4 sets "CC_FOR_BUIL=gcc -O -g" rather than the actual compiler by checking if the library is configured with cross-compiling, I wonder if there is a workaround for that.
