RTAS: This package contains few tools (like nvram, ppc64_cpu, etc) which are not dependent on RTAS support. Traditionally we always had RTAS support (at least on IBM Power system). But now a days we do have environments like PowerNV host where we do not have RTAS support. Instead we use OPAL for runtime service [1]. Hence lets disable RTAS by default. If someone wants to build powerpc-utils with RTAS they can enable it.

Yes, version 1.2.24 seems to be newer than 1.4, which is equivalent to 1.2.20. Also, switch from git clone to tarball download , and add a .hash file. The configure script seems to misdetect stack smashing protection support in the toolchain. gcc accepts -fstack_protector_all, but the linker complains: "ld: cannot find -lssp".
