+Subject: [PATCH] libflash: Provide an internal parity implementation, to
+ remove libgcc dependency
+
+In commit 8f5b8616, we introduced a dependency on libgcc, for the
+__builtin_parityl() function in commit 6cfaa3ba.
+
+However, if we're building with a biarch compiler, we may not have a
+libgcc available.
+
+This commit removes the __builtin_parityl() call, and replaces with the
+equivalent instructions, and removes the dependency on libgcc.
+
+Although this is untested, I have confirmed that the __builtin_parityl()
+functions emits the same instructions (on power7 and power8, with
+gcc-4.9) as we're using in the parity() function.
