Peter, this solves the issue you reported previously [1].

Agreed, thanks.  I'll also add the POWER9 support to the GCC side
of the patch now that the glibc code is upstream.

I do not see these bits being added in kernel side yet and GLIBC usual
only sync these kind of bits *after* they are included in kernel side.
So I would advise to either get these pieces (kernel support and hwcap
advertise) in kernel before 2.23 release, otherwise revert the patches.

Ack.
