One of the first things to do is, sign up for a GCC Compile Farm account, <https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm> and <https://portal.cfarm.net/>. It is free for free and open source software developers. See "Request an Account" in the menu bar at <https://portal.cfarm.net/users/new/>. The CFarm provides plenty of PowerPC machines to test on: <https://portal.cfarm.net/machines/list/>. cfarm29 provides ppc64le. Once your account is approved, SSH into the machine with 'ssh cfarm29.cfarm.net'. You should also consider testing on cfarm110, which is big-endian. Another notable is cfarm119. It is also big-endian, but it runs AIX. Jeff
