maliit-framework is another powerpc example: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/252116453/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-powerpc.maliit-framework_0.99.1+git20151118+62bd54b-0ubuntu4~xenial1~qt560~1_BUILDING.txt.gz

(note only powerpc is affected, not ppc64el)

This looks very similar to the upstream bug I filed: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54719

Take that with a grain of salt (it's just one related patch), but please test if the powerpc QML tests would be passing for your component now.

powerpc has been dropped. thus no longer relevant right?
