+# This is a script to find, and correct, a problem with old versions of
+# configure that affect powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
+
+# The issue causes configure to incorrectly determine that shared library
+# support is not present in the linker. This causes the package to build a
+# static library rather than a dynamic one and although the build will succeed,
+# it may cause packages that link with the static library it to fail due to
+# undefined symbols.
+
+# This script searches for files named 'configure' that appear to have this
+# issue (by searching for a known bad pattern) and patching them.
