Currently rkt doesn't support ppc64/ppc64le archiecture and we've ignore
app-emulation/rkt on ppc64le platform.

1) We've merged the 12 or more patches into Gentoo official overlay ->
https://cgit.gentoo.org/repo/proj/ppc64le.git
2) We use this official ppc64le-overlay <https://github.com/houstar/ppc64le>
+ coreos-overlay + portage-stable to build PPC64LE CoreOS SDK and
production image.

Yes. We've made PPC64LE CoreOS SDK. Could we deliver this SDK on CoreOS
website? e.g. https://alpha.release.core-os.net/index.html

Could you help to review and merge this github PR#584
<https://github.com/coreos/scripts/pull/584> if we want to official support
CoreOS@ppc64le platform ?

Welcome someone who wants to have a try with this CoreOS@ppc64le. We
achieved most functions of CoreOS except grub with gptprio.next and rkt.

Congrats !  See following message on CoreOS@ppc64le. Feel free to use
