I'm not sure if you are talking about Emacs 23, or Emacs 24.3. We stopped supporting Emacs 23 some years ago, so there will be no new release of that. It is possible that the upcoming Emacs 24.4 release could support ppc64le, depending on what changes turn out to be needed. If it is just a matter of using a newer config.guess, then you do not need us to do anything. Simply run ./autogen.sh in the 24.3 source directory to regenerate the autotools files using whatever version of automake you wish. Quite possibly other changes will be needed as well though (eg to configure.ac).
