[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana or OpenSolaris version with PowerPC support?

[ardi]

Hi, thanks a lot for your replies,

My main interest was at how the libc port was done, and specially, the
support for long double in math and printf. However, looking at that
github archive I couldn't find support for long double... perhaps it
was never implemented, as it's incomplete as you noted.

Thanks
