+Building GHDL from sources:
+***************************
+
+See BUILD.txt
+
+Please report bugs and issues on https://github.com/tgingold/ghdl/issues
+
+If you cannot compile, please report the gcc version, GNAT version and gcc
+source version.
+
+* Note for ppc64 (and AIX ?) platform:
+The object file format contains an identifier for the source language. Because
+gcc doesn't know about the VHDL, gcc crashes very early. This could be fixed
+with a very simple change in gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000.c,
+function rs6000_output_function_epilogue (as of gcc 4.8):
+       else if (! strcmp (language_string, "GNU Objective-C"))
+        i = 14;
+       else
+-       gcc_unreachable ();
++       i = 0;
+       fprintf (file, "%d,", i);
