Hi,
starting with version 3.5.5-1, the openssl package started to FTBFS on ppc64
due to the build system trying to link ELFv1 with ELFv2 code [1]:
${LDCMD:-gcc} -pthread -m64 -Wa,--noexecstack -Wall
-fzero-call-used-regs=used-gpr -Wa,--noexecstack -g -O2
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration
-ffile-prefix-map=/build/reproducible-path/openssl-3.5.5=.
-fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z,relro
-Wl,-z,now \

libcrypto.a -lz -lzstd -ldl -pthread

Most likely someone upstream assumed that PowerPC means ELFv2 these days, i.e.
the ABI used on ppc64el but that's obviously wrong.
Will also report this upstream.
Thanks,
Adrian
