Description Gustavo Luiz Duarte 2014-05-05 14:39:39 UTC 
The new little-endian 64-bit PowerPC platform (powerpc64le-linux) is not currently supported by Xulrunner.

I tried the same patch being used for Firefox and it works fine for Xulrunner: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/firefox.git/tree/mozilla-ppc64le.patch

Could we please add this patch to Xulrunner on Rawhide? You can apply the patch only on ppc64le to avoid breaking other arches.
Comment 1 Gustavo Luiz Duarte 2014-05-05 14:43:04 UTC 
Please also consider the following change to the spec file:
