The second error I met is cannot execute Java in the docker container:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
docker run -it --rm --name ppc64le -v /Users/xxx/Development/dockerImage/maketest/sdk/xl6490:/java -v /Users/xxx/Development/dockerImage/qemu_lib_static/qemu-ppc64le-static:/usr/bin/qemu-ppc64le-static ppc64le/ubuntu
root@9000c10344e4:/# /java/bin/java -version
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault
root@9000c10344e4:/#

Did I miss any part to execute the Docker ppc64le/ubuntu image?

This is likely due to Docker for Mac's transparent use of QEMU user mode emulation via binfmt-misc. I don't think I've ever seen OpenJDK work successfully under QEMU's user mode emulation, but I seem to recall the last time I went looking for an issue about it I wasn't very successful.

I think the most obvious place I saw issues was in the output of "java -version", which was incorrect under QEMU but correct on a real device (this was ARM, but ppc64le is likely in a similar boat, since QEMU is the common thread).

In other words, this isn't likely to be a bug in Ubuntu, OpenJDK, or even Docker, but rather in QEMU (although fixing it in OpenJDK itself might be possible). It's also possible that the POWER machine being emulated by QEMU is missing some (possibly newer?) instructions that Ubuntu's OpenJDK builds are trying to use.

We meet the same issue. We use Docker and qemu-user-static to build our project (CRIU) in travis-ci. We used ppc64le/ubuntu:trusty and it worked fine, but it was broken about a month ago (#1710399). I tried to use ppc64le/ubuntu:xenial and meed this issue.

This is a very old and inactive bug. Please re-open if the issue is still there in more recent versions.
