[alsa-devel] powerpc64 workaround

Hello Takashi,

Fourteen years ago you commited a patch in alsa-libs entitled "added workaround for ppc64." and I am curious about it. What is this workaround for? Is this still needed?

Currently it seems to be causing some issues on ppc64le (ABI v2) when building this package, and we are reverting it downstream in order to avoid FTBFS on alsa-libs:

https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pull/911

https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/blob/master/package/alsa-lib/0005-rem...

Anyway, do you think it is still important?

Thank you, Breno
