Linux ppc64le: The little-endian Linux variants must be built with gcc 4.8 .  We build it on SLES 12.1. SAP does not do continuous builds or tests of this platform.

Processor: The port supports only 64-bit PPC machines. It recognizes Power chips 5 through 8 and generates code optimized for these processors. It lacks an instruction scheduler targeted to Power 6, which is an in-order issueing processor.
