I also ran into a PPC build error while working on some bpf problems,
but it seemed
like a pre-existing PPC issue. I did submit an upstream fix, which is
marked for stable
and being reviewed by Michael. See here for discussion and the patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/17/668.

Is that the same problem you encountered? Does that patch address your issue?

Thanks,
Tony
