I think the toolchain people will tell you that there is no 32-bit little endian ABI defined at all, if anything works it's by accident. So I think we should not make this selectable, unless someone puts their hand up to say they want it and are willing to test it and keep it working. cheers > v3: make configurable > --- > arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 5 +++-- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig > index 5bab0bb6b833..b0339e892329 100644 > --- a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig > +++ b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig > @@ -264,8 +264,9 @@ config PANIC_TIMEOUT > default 180 > > config COMPAT > - bool > - default y if PPC64 > + bool "Enable support for 32bit binaries" > + depends on PPC64 > + default y if !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN > select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF > select ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC > select COMPAT_OLD_SIGACTION > -- > 2.22.0
