The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64le. ThisHuh? ppc64le or ppc64el?ppc64el. Commit message is wrong. Fixed below. MikeyWhat about ppc64? Also, I sent that already a month ago. Both linuxppc-dev and Michal Marek were on cc. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=140744360328562&w=2Anyone using powerpc (32-bit) will then need to add ppc64 as a foreign architecture before they can install a 64-bit custom kernel. This is fine in principle, except that ppc64 is not an official Debian port and its packages are not mirrored on the same servers.

So I think Michael's version, leaving big-endian kernels as powerpc by default, is preferable for now.
I applied v2 of Michael's patch to kbuild.git#misc. Michal
