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
