Existing version of Darwin PPC assembler is broken in Boost. This PR makes an initial fix-up.
;, not#. Corrected everywhere.@plt, which breaks the build.ppc64.I do not really get why FPR env has been removed at some point for
ppc64, while brought back toppc32. Is it just another episode of careless borrowing across ABIs? Here, for example,libcontexthas FPR support inppc64:https://github.com/twlostow/libcontext/blob/master/jump_ppc64_sysv_macho_gas.S
https://github.com/twlostow/libcontext/blob/master/make_ppc64_sysv_macho_gas.S
P. S. @iains If you have a few minutes to take a look, that would be great. We really need functioning context/coroutine libs in Boost on PPC.
This version builds and apparently works: https://github.com/twlostow/libcontext
However it lacks
ontop_ppc*components, and may not match very well with the current Boost ABI.
