Hello i got compiled  tle  firefoxppc64-big-endian port  on power5. It work really good. I like it. thank you thank you  tle.

Also this time gnu gnulinux 7.1 worked on nouveau by 64k ppc5-big-endian. (No more crashing nouveau on 64k), however i not sure why is not worked 64k on power9-little-endian and nouveau,.

So yes i have  full-powerpc  big-endian 64k experience just now without blobs-blackboxes and gles2-nir. And very soon i will move my raptor-blackbird powerpc for  debian big-endian, as nouveau started work on 64k.

Issues found:
1)  Endianess issues on top-bar browser-buttons as you can see on image, the buttons stay white than black.
2) Power9,10,8 patch is conflict to power5 patchset, so this make firefoxppcbe-on-power5 hung on booting after get compiled because nss-vsx  binaries.. Firefoxppc64be autoenable and force  NSS / *  by makefile to use hash-sha512-and-mcrypto hard accel vsx on power5 compilation. So nss by hard-accel  /  mcrypto only supported by vsx which power5 lack,  however i not sure if firefox nss mcrypto hash-sha512 is compatible  to power-4.5.6.7 vmx hard accel requirements, but it will be nice to support full nss/ to vmx even vmx-emulated than software.
So all the problem about is from here:  security/nss/lib/freebl
