If both systems use the same ABI config.sub should have returned a
canonicalized versions.  If not we can use a new mechanism available in
1.19.  You need to change the code, though: In src/mkheader.c find the
function

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
static char *
canon_host_triplet (const char *triplet)
{
  struct {
    const char *name;
    const char *alias;
  } tbl[] = {
    {"i486-pc-linux-gnu", "i686-pc-linux-gnu" },
    {"i586-pc-linux-gnu" },

    { NULL }
  };
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and add a line

    {"powerpc64-e5500-linux-gnu", "powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu" },

before the {NULL} marker.  But do that only if you are sure both use the
same ABI.

Let me know if this works and I'll add it for 1.20.


Salam-Shalom,
