Indeed, musl uses the ELFv2 ABI (minus its gratuitous mandate of
minimum ISA level) for both little and big endian powerpc64, and I
think we have users of both (people running it on old powerbooks,
etc.).
Am I reading correctly that sqrt, fma, and fabs are available even in
the lowest powerpc64 ISA, and don't need preprocessor conditionals?
