This weekend, we will bump the baseline for the ppc64el architecture to POWER9.
A test compiler (gcc-11) for jammy can be found at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/p9
We will not do an explicit test rebuild for that change, but do the first test
rebuild during the Xmas/New Year breaks with this p9 default. If bugs are found
with these defaults,
- fix the bug if possible
- file a bug report with the tag "power9"
- if a fix is urgently needed, file the bug report as
above, and then upload the package with a workaround
defaulting to the previous baseline:
-march=power8 -mtune=power9
