Wine source build on AIX/PowerPC failing

[Michael Stefaniuc]

Hello Mahin,

wine-6.0 officially removed PPC32 support, see the release notes
https://www.winehq.org/announce/6.0
"- Support for the obsolete 32-bit PowerPC architecture is removed. It
  had been broken for some time already."

PPC64 was never supported.
Afair there were talks about adding PPC64LE but that never materialized. André
might know how far that is.


Also, I don't remember that AIX was ever supported. So that would be an
additional effort.


bye
