Generally speaking, this patch looks fine to me. Just curious, what
sort of machines does one use for 32-bit powerpc?
I want to build the bootstrap binaries, see if they're reproducible (in
particular GCC, which I suspect won't be), and verify the hashes.
It might take a few days to do that, but I'll update this thread once
I've done it.

Once you're reasonably sure the bootstrap binaries won't change, we
should consider uploading them to alpha.gnu.org. Ludo did it for me for
powerpc64le-linux but I don't know who has access (I don't).

Any ideas for how we can get a machine for powerpc CI? Maybe VMs, I
guess? Can a POWER9 machine be a powerpc-linux machine...?
