The little-endian powerpc64le compilers provided by Ubuntu and Fedora are able to compile big endian kernel and big endian nolibc-test [1].
These default CROSS_COMPILE settings allow to test target architectures with:
$ cd /path/to/tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/
$ for arch in ppc ppc64 ppc64le; do \ make run-user XARCH=$arch | grep "status: "; \ done
If want to use another cross compiler, please simply pass CROSS_COMPILE or CC as before.
For example, it is able to build 64-bit nolibc-test with the big endian powerpc64-linux-gcc crosstool from [2]:
$ wget -c https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/13.1.0/... $ tar xvf x86_64-gcc-13.1.0-nolibc-powerpc64-linux.tar.xz $ export PATH=$PWD/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/:$PATH
$ export CROSS_COMPILE_ppc=powerpc64-linux- $ export CROSS_COMPILE_ppc64=powerpc64-linux- $ export CROSS_COMPILE_ppc64le=powerpc64-linux- $ for arch in ppc ppc64 ppc64le; do \ make run-user XARCH=$arch | grep "status: "; \ done
Or specify CC directly with full path:
$ export CC=$PWD/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc $ for arch in ppc ppc64 ppc64le; do \ make run-user XARCH=$arch | grep "status: "; \ done
