The ppc64le situation has been clarified. It's now listed explicitly as a primary architecture, as powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu: <https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/criteria.html> This has always been the intent, but I can understand that distributions view powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu and powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu quite very different things.
