Thanks for figuring this out Andreas! I've managed to apply this change
in the relevant place, and it appears to work.

I tried to apply it in a way that only affected powerpc64le-linux, but
I'm not sure I was successful. I've got no idea where it's best to apply
this patch, or how describe it, but at least this is a step forward.
