Hello,

V8 and consequently NodeJS upstream dropped support for ppc64 such that only an old
version of NodeJS is available on ppc64 which causes cockpit failing to build there:

qunit not found, skipping test builds
building ./pkg/base1/cockpit.js
file:///build/reproducible-path/cockpit-354/build.js:207
            const context = await esbuild.context({
                                          ^

TypeError: esbuild.context is not a function
    at build (file:///build/reproducible-path/cockpit-354/build.js:207:43)

Node.js v20.19.5

See [1].

Thus, please disable NodeJS support on ppc64 to fix this.

Thanks,
Adrian
