I appreciate that, but if rebuilding the world on regular powerpc would
significantly add to the burden of even a single developer, then it's
probably not worth it. I suggested fixing the powerpc64le case now only
because it was just added a few days ago, and more generally to raise
awareness about how best to run the 'patch' program in Guix.
If it's truly no extra burden, then you could change "--batch" to
"--force" on line 69 of libffi.c (in the "powerpc-*" case).
Regards,
Mark
