-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.
