This looks like an annoying bug.  I'll copy the relevant bit from the bug report below:

    any OpenPOWER Compliant systems that choose not to implement the Optional SIMD 
    as per the Linux Compliancy Subset in v3.0C such as Microwatt, A2O, A2I and LibreSOC 
    are accidentally and unintentionally completely excluded from being able to run major
    modern distros, and with ABI changes taking estimated 3 to 5 years to propagate, there 
    are very few options. 

You won't be able to run GNU/Linux on the libreSOC?  That sounds annoying.
