I could reproduce the failure on bonito. The stack trace is:

I wanted to use a debug build to investigate in more detail, but bonito is a
small VM. Thus I built llvm 7 on a more powerful gcc cfarm machine, running on
AlmaLinux 9.2. The problem doesn't reproduce there.
Given the crash in some c++ standard library code, that the fc29 patches to
llvm look harmless, that building/using llvm 7 on a newer distro does not show
issues on PPC, it seems likely that this is a compiler / standard library
issue.
FC 29 is well out of support, so I don't think it makes sense to invest any
further time in this. Personally, I don't think it's useful to have years old
fedora in the buildfarm...
