commit ff3fc21e24edffccce0d42065833e852a6792bd2
Author: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Date:   Tue Jul 19 15:23:14 2016 +0200

    Port to glibc 2.24 (pre-release) + ppc64
    
    Backport from master (Bug#24033).
    Inspired by a suggestion by Florian Weimer in:
    https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-07/msg00425.html
    * src/emacs.c (main) [__PPC64__]:
    Special case for __PPC64__, which needs ASLR disabled in
    dumped Emacs too.
