On powerpc64 10.1-STABLE portmaster indirectly building devel/powerpc64-gcc fails

[Mark Millard]

For me trying powerpc64-xtoolchain-gcc was just an initial experiment for personal interest, even though if I used it I'd be "cross" building back to powerpc64 with the modern gcc for now. No grand disaster for me if building it does not work for a while.

But finding the issues and reporting them means the experiment has provided a useful result already.

But I can stop the 10.1-RELEASE-p4 boot during its 10 second wait and then explicitly "boot kernel10.1S" and that works.)

powerpc64-xtoolchain-gcc is an external toolchain to cross build base with
recent gcc is that what you want?

(in anycase it should not fail :) I'll investigate)
