powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe

Tier: 3

powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe is a target for Linux on 32-bit PowerPC processors that implement the Signal Processing Engine (SPE), such as e500, and uses a different ABI than standard powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu. When building for other 32-bit PowerPC processors, use powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu instead.

See also Debian Wiki for details on this platform, and ABI reference for details on SPE ABI.

Note that support for PowerPC SPE by GCC was removed in GCC 9, so recent GCC cannot be used as linker/compiler for this target.
