Interestingly this patch from Andrew conflicts with a patch from Mingli Yu 
which changes ppc64 to powerpc64[1].

Without triple-checking I’m more liable to believe your patch as I expect that 
you’re actually running PPC64LE servers (and also touches more places where 
COMPATIBLE_HOST is set), but I’m also wondering what Mingli’s patch is doing 
because it must have been sent for a reason.

Can you both compare each-others patches so we can understand what happened?

Cheers,
Ross
