There are few PPC assembler files in Boost (v1.55) :
./libs/context/src/asm/jump_ppc64_sysv_elf_gas.S
./libs/context/src/asm/jump_ppc32_sysv_elf_gas.S
./libs/context/src/asm/make_ppc64_sysv_elf_gas.S
./libs/context/src/asm/make_ppc32_sysv_elf_gas.S

And I've not found any PPC assembler code included in C++ files. Only
Intel assembler optimizations.

That means to says that assembler code in Boost should not be the root
cause of the issues I've found. Moreover, though there are more issues
on Ubuntu PPC64/LE than on Fedora PPC64/BE, there are issues on
PPC64/BE, which has a stable ABI compared to the recently changed ABI on
PPC64/LE .

Understanding and fixing errors common to both PPC64 BE and LE would
help, as a first attempt.
