I notice that even in the experimental package ppc64el is not enabled, yet it builds fine on our systems after resyncing libcontex.h with GIT master: https://quickbuild.io/~raptor-engineering-public/+archive/ubuntu/eetools-debian/+build/516221 Note the change was a handful of lines: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-source-mirror/commit/c77031842ec5b9ef3bc5ceb3fc56cb6d4ec9c8c3 Perhaps we can start by reenabling the ppc64el architecture for KiCad builds in experimental? For now, we'll work around the missing support on our Buster systems via our Debian PPA at https://quickbuild.io/~raptor-engineering-public/+archive/ubuntu/eetools-debian . Other folks in the same boat are more than welcome to use our binaries while waiting for official Debian support to be restored.
