So, I have skimmed over the build logs and one of the main issues is the use of
-march flags to enforce a certain baseline [1]:

powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-march=native’; did you mean ‘-mcpu=native’?

This is a policy violation and must be fixed in any case. Blacklisting architectures
is not enough in this case as forcing the baseline of the buildds can lead to code
that won't run on the user's machines.
