IBM is introducing a new architecture - ppc64le (powerpc 64-bit Little

either config.guess or needs to pick up the latest automake (1.13.4 or 
above) version from upstream. The latest config.guess which has the 
ppc64le changes can be found at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD. 


Can you please spin a new version which would support ppc64le? Please do 
let me know if you will be picking up the patches from upstream or you 
would require local patches to be provided.
Can you confirm that this patch is sufficient to add ppc64le support to
readline-6.2?
Yes, this patch is sufficient to add ppc64le support to readline-6.2. Can I expect a quick release with this patch?

Thanks,
