I don't own a working powerpc, and I couldn't reproduce the FTBFS by
building the unfixed version 2.38.2-1 on Debian's only powerpc porterbox
(partch). I'm now trying 10 repetitions of "make -C debian/build/deb/gio check"
to see whether it's non-deterministic; the first 3 have all passed.

I'm going to assume that this patch fixes all of the test failures
mentioned in this bug unless we discover otherwise, and close this bug
in the changelog; it seems plausible, at least.
