LLVM 2.7 contains two code generator target backends for powerpc, ppc32 and
ppc64.

The LLVM ppc32 target backend are well tested, the LLVM project have been
running a 32bit ppc buildbot that have informed the developers of any
problems/regressions during the LLVM 2.7 stabilization phase. The LLVM ppc32
backend are are able to pass the LLVM regression testsuite (make check).
Despite all testing of the ppc32 target backend, there are one major PPC JIT
bug left in LLVM 2.7:
See: http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=399 /
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=5201

The LLVM ppc64 target backend are not so well tested (no llvm buildbot have
checked the ppc64 target backend) and for what I know it fails to pass the llvm
regression testsuite (make check).

LLVM enables the ppc64 backend by default when it are compiled on a ppc64 build
host.

Please check and verify that your LLVM 2.7 build passes the regression
testsuite (make check).
Please verify that your LLVM 2.7 build are patched to workaround pr399.

You can make LLVM 2.7 use the ppc32 backend by default by building LLVM 2.7
from inside a "linux32 bash" shell.

Cheers
Xerxes
