i tried with something like this:

$ cat t.c
#ifdef __POWERPC__
#ifndef NDEBUG
// disable asserts malloc broken
// https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6527
#define NDEBUG
#endif
#endif

#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN

$ gcc -E t.c
# 1 "t.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" 1 3 4
# 1 "<command-line>" 2
# 1 "t.c"

I guess the output means the __POWERPC__ is not recognized right?

I slightly changed your patch to use the same macro as in npy_cpu; if
even that one fails, for teh benefit of the transition I will disable
the failure for tests and will address it in due time
