Over on https://dev.gnupg.org/T4632 it looks like upstream
has no plans to make it easier to cross-compile libgpg-error without
having at least run a native compiler once, so i'm closing this ticket
as i think it's not something we can resolve.

You could, if you wanted to, try to guess what it would be from the
other existing lock-obj-pub.powerpc-*.h in the codebase, and then try
building it and see if it works, but i don't know how to test it
adequately.

If you do manage to get a native compiler for your specific platform and
it produces a lock-obj-pub.powerpc-*.h please don't hesitate to send it
on, either here in the debian BTS, or at the upstream bugtracker at
https://dev.gnupg.org/, so that the platform will be easier to support
in the future.
