Hi,

On powerpc64le-linux, using commit
a1cdd9de3cffb5677fc1570d9a7992bf0cbd2f34 (which is on the wip-ppc64le
branch), gcc-final fails to build with the following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
checking size of long long... configure: error: in `/tmp/guix-build-gcc-7.5.0.drv-0/build/gcc':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long long)
See `config.log' for more details.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The file /tmp/guix-build-gcc-7.5.0.drv-0/build/gcc/config.log contains a
little more info.  It says:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Any ideas?  Perhaps we need to configure gcc in a special way for
powerpc64le-linux?
