Building Nodejs for ppc e500

[arrathin]

I am trying to build node js for ppc 32. Though there is no official support, am giving a try since it is required for one of my platform. Can you please tell me if there is any known guide lines to build node js for ppc 32.

I did a hack and succeeded with build. However, the execution crashes with "ILLEGAL instruction" error.

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

I’d suggest looking at nodejs/node#30323 for what others have tried so far.
