Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64be: option to use ELFv2 ABI for big endian kernels

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2016 14:33:38 +1100

Provide an option to use ELFv2 ABI for big endian builds. The
toolchain check can't be done at configure-time, so the way this
option is provided can result in unbuildable kernel on older
toolchains. Being experimental expert option there isn't a need
to add a lot of fallback logic to make this build.
