Hello,
on ppc64 Firefox crashes on startup with wasm sandboxing enabled:
#0 0x00007fff8ad96d5c in ?? () from /lib/powerpc64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
--Type <RET> for more, q to quit, c to continue without paging--

This can be fixed by disabling wasm sandboxing similar to s390x [1]. Thus,
please
disable wasm sandboxing on ppc64 (see attached patch). Might even be a good idea
to disable it for all big-endian targets.
Thanks,
Adrian
