Hi all,

    To speed up the progress of provide a working ppc64le to the Gentoo

2. We've opened  bug#580512 <https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580512> to
request and track some questions/problems related with ppc64le platform
3. We've opened github PRs#1304 <https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1304> to
