Nixpkgs expects the `builtin.currentSystem` for POWER CPUs to be: `powerpc[64][le]-linux` But using `host_machine.cpu_family()` for the CPU part of the system string on POWER produces this instead: `ppc[64]-linux` So evaluating Nixpkgs errors out on: `error: Unknown CPU type: ppc64` To fix this, change `ppc` -> `powerpc` `ppc64` -> `powerpc64` and append `le` if `host_machine.endian() == 'little'`. I can't actually test this on hardware rn due to hitting a kernel bug on the host system when linking big things[1], but the approach here is similar to how it was fixed in cppnix[2][3], so it *should* be fine.
