<div>For PowerPC, common uses are on little endian systems
running Linux. The ABI used on such systems is the ELF v2 ABI
and both the GNU linker and GOLD are in widespread use as far
as I'm aware. Big endian systems running Linux are somewhat
common but they use the ELF v1 ABI and mostly the GNU linker.<br>
</div>
I will defer to Hal Finkel (on Cc) for use on larger distributed
systems as well</div>

We use the LLVM/PowerPC on big-Endian PPC64/Linux using recent
binutils in production (on POWER7 and the BG/Q).<br>

<br>
I'd like to experiment with the MIPS and PowerPC backends,
but,<br>
considering that they aren't widely used processors, I'd
like to start<br>
with the same environment (OS/ABI/linker) used by the people
who work<br>
with these backends.<br>
<br>
So, what OS/ABI/linker use the people who use these backends
for<br>
production work?<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
