[ncl-talk] Fwd: POWER8 (ppc64le) Configuration

[David Brown]

Sorry for the delay in responding. I think we would be very open to
accepting a new configuration. If you send us the patch we will test
it out (at least to make sure nothing else breaks). Of course we do
not have access to the type of system you are creating this for, so we
won't be able to test the specific configuration.
