I don't know where this code is coming from, but this is definitely wrong:

The code is forcing compiler flags based on the architecture and thus overriding the
baseline. This is a baseline violation and not allowed per Debian Policy.

And, in particular, it violates the baseline of the ppc64 port which is using POWER5,
not POWER8.
