Hi I did the "make test" on my PowerMac G5 and I got some 'illegal instructions' error on the tests I did the same test on my ppc64le too, attached the results of the tests

G5 is basically power4 which implements very old PowerISA (v2.00). Currently MIR supports power processors starting with power7 (isa starting with PowerISA v.2.6).
