This patch introduces a skeleton JITLink ppc64 support header and ELF/ppc64
backend. No relocations are supported in this initial version, but given a
program requiring no relocations (e.g. one that just returns a constant value
from main) the new backend is able to construct a LinkGraph from a ppc64 ELF
relocatable object, and the llvm-jitlink tool is able to execute it.
Being minimal, this commit should also serve as a good example of how to
introduce a JITLink backend for a new architecture.
Is it customary for these comments to mention LE/BE separately?
Something like
jit-link functions for ELF/ppc64{le}
