I believe that some OS (FreeBSD? NetBSD?) is trying to use ELFv2 with
PPC64 BE.  That is a separate issue and I do not believe that Musl
Libc plans to support that configuration.

AIX continues to use its ABI, which essentially is closely related to
ELFv1 and uses the XCOFF file format and syntax.

Thanks, David
