Hello,


The build fails because testLuaDestructors unit test fails as LuaJIT on 
ppc64el uses longjmp for error handling instead of C++ exceptions, which 
bypasses
C++ destructor calls.

This is similar to the existing issue on other archs like armel, armhf, 
loong64, and mips64el. But ppc64el was simply missing from the 
architecture list.

Adding ppc64el to IGNORE_LUA_DESTRUCTOR_TEST_FAILURE in debian/rules 
fixes the isse.

Thanks,
Trupti
