It seems that the FTBFS comes from the fact that a shared library
cannot be built. In configure results (standard tests), we can find:
checking whether the powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 linker (/usr/bin/ld -m elf64ppc) supports shared libraries... no

Is it normal for this new platform (I think no)? Do you have an idea
where this result comes from (before I look in details)?

  Regards,

PS: I see several other problems with the build of this package
(even on other architecture) that I will try to fix but the FTBFS
comes from the missing so file:
[...]
debian/tmp/usr/lib/libhyantes.la
dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp
dh_install: libhyantes-dev missing files (usr/lib/lib*.so), aborting
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 255
