Google Cloud now supports POWER:

Maybe we can start running the AIX and linux/ppc64x builders on GCP (and scale VMs dynamically as needed) instead of OSUOSL (where we have a fixed and limited capacity).

Interesting, but I doubt it supports linux/ppc64, probably only linux/ppc64le.

I came to this bug from the now-locked #34850 and, after following the discussion, I just wanted to mention one thing regarding OSes and ppc64 big-endian support. While all Linux distributions seem to have dropped support for this platform, FreeBSD/powerpc64 still exists and works. It might be an option too.

FreeBSD/powerpc64 support would be nice
