Hello!
Based on previous discussions to apply <
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=44778> on the master
branch instead I submit this new patch (attached) so that it does not
cause a world rebuild by not altering the package definition hash on
other platforms.
Thank you!

+Subject: [PATCH] ffi_powerpc.h: fix build failure with powerpc7
+
+This is a patch pulled down from the following:
+https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/blob/78926f610b1411b03464152472fd430012deb9ac/package/libffi/0004-ffi_powerpc.h-fix-build-failure-with-powerpc7.patch
+
+This issue is being hit on OpenBMC code when pulling the latest
+libffi tag and building on a P8 ppc64le machine. I verified this
+patch fixes the issue we are seeing.
+
+Below is the original commit message:
+
+Sicne commit 73dd43afc8a447ba98ea02e9aad4c6898dc77fb0, build on powerpc7
+fails on:
+
+In file included from ../src/powerpc/ffi.c:33:0:
+../src/powerpc/ffi_powerpc.h:61:9: error: '_Float128' is not supported on this target
+ typedef _Float128 float128;
+ ^~~~~~~~~
+
+Fix this build failure by checking for __HAVE_FLOAT128 before using
+_Float128, as _Float128 is enabled only on specific conditions, see
+output/host/powerpc64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/bits/floatn.h:
+
+ /* Defined to 1 if the current compiler invocation provides a
+ floating-point type with the IEEE 754 binary128 format, and this glibc
+ includes corresponding *f128 interfaces for it. */
+ #if defined _ARCH_PWR8 && defined __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ && (_CALL_ELF == 2) \
+ && defined __FLOAT128__ && !defined __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH
+ # define __HAVE_FLOAT128 1
+ #else
+ # define __HAVE_FLOAT128 0
+ #endif

My understanding is as follows:
- Patch 44778, linked above, was committed on core-updates branch in
4fff5ab24126a152b50c036b9bf8dc6f2740f094.
- The libffi patch in this patch (45252) is the same as it was in 44778,
but the scheme code has been changed so that we can apply this patch
to the master branch without causing a rebuild of many packages.
Is that right?

Looks good to me. I'll test it locally and update here once I've
confirmed that it doesn't cause a full rebuild when applied to master.
Assuming all goes well, I intend to revert
4fff5ab24126a152b50c036b9bf8dc6f2740f094 on core-updates and apply this
patch to master.

Based on...
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20191124090305.1015485-1-fontaine.fabrice@gmail.com/
...it sounds like upstream libffi maintainers may not have merged this
patch yet. We should probably check with them to see when they plan to
merge it into upstream, but in the meantime there's no reason not to use
the patch if it works. Based on what Fabrice said in that thread, it
sounds like the libffi maintainers may be a bit slow in responding to
power-related bugs.

That's not true, they've merged the patch: <
https://github.com/libffi/libffi/pull/561> - they just did not make a
release yet.

Ah, OK. That's good to know!
I've committed this patch in 7eaa2f24ea77cddbb4bbc2d6a6905673a36f8f99 on
master. I've also reverted 4fff5ab24126a152b50c036b9bf8dc6f2740f094 in
commit b50341dba9811c048bed852c0279b828c7ddba66 on core-updates. I
think we should be good to go to try building powerpc64-linux-gnu
bootstrap-tarballs now!
I confirmed that this commit on master would not cause dependents of
libffi to be rebuilt by verifying that the derivation for one of its
dependent packages, guile, did not change before/after the change.
