Can anyone detail a little what this "support" means? Is M5 realistic? 

Is is just the "drop down" on "architectures"? 

Mostly just curious ... but, obviously, we don't currently support aix or s390 either ... and, just today happened across bug 269573 which is related to the general case. 

(And, I am not saying we should not support ppc64le ... just curious.)

Yes.

Vikas, isn't this just one additional entry? If so, please add for 4.5.

Created attachment 253442 [details]
Patch for this case.

This patch assumes that platform in eclipse.core.runtime has

public static final String ARCH_PPC64LE = "ppc64le";//$NON-NLS-1$ 

with javadoc.

Comment 5 Vikas Chandra 2015-05-13 09:55:18 EDT

There are other architectures (including ppc64) that are missing. See

org.eclipse.osgi\src\org\eclipse\osgi\internal\framework\processor.aliases

Also needs to be checked which ones should be added.
