Sure.  IIUC, the tarballs at the URL above are for PPC64 (system type:
‘powerpc64-linux’); is this also going to work on PPC64LE hardware?

(As you know, we use i386 binaries for both i686-linux and x86_64-linux.
Likewise, if we can have a single set of binaries instead of having
PPC32, PPC64, and PPC64LE, that’s better.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
