I was also affected in 16.04 ppc64el and I fixed downloading IBM adv toolchain for Ubuntu from here https://developer.ibm.com/linuxonpower/advance-toolchain/. Only rte is necessary and I also modify PATH to prepend /opt/at12.0/bin following the ibm istro. If you want to avoid this hidden dependency you have to uninstall toolchain and rebuild the package. AT replaces on the fly libstdc++ with a newer one with 3.4.22 in fact:
