If you have an installation of Ubuntu 16.04, you can install go & docker, build docker from upstream source, copy all the docker binaries (dockerd, docker, docker-containerd, docker-containerd-ctr, docker-containerd-shim, and docker-runc) into /usr/bin/ , and then run a container (docker run -it ppc64le/ubuntu echo hi) and it will hang and fail to exit.

====
Or, you can build docker in a container and then run (the way the CI tests work):

0. Install docker
1. checkout and patch docker master:

diff --git a/Dockerfile.ppc64le b/Dockerfile.ppc64le
index 208c3a5..3fa36a0 100644
--- a/Dockerfile.ppc64le

2. build the docker dev container:
$docker build -t docker:1.6.1 -f Dockerfile.ppc64le .

3. Run the docker dev container
$docker run -it --privileged docker:1.6.1 /bin/bash

4. From the container, build the docker binary
root@05f8c2e2a546:/go/src/github.com/docker/docker# ./hack/make.sh binary

5. Run a docker container:
root@05f8c2e2a546:/go/src/github.com/docker/docker# cd bundles/latest/binary-daemon
root@05f8c2e2a546:/go/src/github.com/docker/docker# ./docker &
root@05f8c2e2a546:/go/src/github.com/docker/docker# cd ../docker-client
root@05f8c2e2a546:/go/src/github.com/docker/docker# ./ ./docker run -it ppc64le/ubuntu echo hi
hi

You can see that the container runs, but never exits.

Is that helpful?
