Hi, When attempting to build luajit on powerpc64le-linux, you will get errors like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ==== Building LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 ==== make -C src make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/guix-build-luajit-2.1.0-beta3.drv-0/LuaJIT-2.1.0-beta3/src' lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ lj_arch.h:428:2: error: #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" 428 | #error "No support for PowerPC 64 bit mode (yet)" | ^~~~~ make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'vm_ppc64.dasc', needed by 'host/buildvm_arch.h'.

If we can't use LuaJIT on powerpc64le-linux, we should probably remove it from the luajit package's list of supported systems. I checked their email list and website, but I can't find information about whether the LuaJIT project is actively working on support for powerpc64le architecture specifically. I'll ask their email list (luajit@freelists.org) in a moment, and we'll see what they say. -- Chris
