Re: [PATCH v2] PowerPC: Initial SFrame support for 64-bit PowerPC ELF ABI

This email is a follow-up, or ‘gentle ping’, regarding the review of version 2 of a patch series that adds initial SFrame support for the 64-bit PowerPC ELF ABI in binutils. The author offers to rebase the series into a v3 if that would facilitate the review process.
