Even more interesting is that also building ppc64le on ppc64 works.
So long as you do not build on ppc64 or do not build for ppc64 it is fine

Attaching the BE and LE configs. There is stil non-trivial difference
probably related to the v1 vs v2 object format version. There was once a
patchset to build BE with v2 format as well but it was rejected.
