I'm not sure how you got so far, as on master it currently fails due to
the following dependencies failing to build [0]:

- netcdf-4.9.0 (due to  hdf4-alt-4.2.16-2)
- vtk-9.2.2 (also due to hdf4-alt-4.2.16-2)
- python-wxpython-4.2.0 (webkitgtk-with-libsoup2-2.40.5)
- python-matplotlib-3.5.2 (also webkitgtk-with-libsoup2-2.40.5)

Reopening as webkitgtk-with-libsoup2 is apparently still broken.

I tried fixing hdf4 but I got lost; Nix and Fedora are on 4.2.15 and
using Fedora's patches, which appear to me mostly obsoleted by changes
in 4.2.16; I reported the bug here [0] (that's the place linked on their
website although I also see they accept issues on Github [1]).

But it seems only 2 dependencies break freecad on powerpc64le.  Help
welcome!
