Bug#879497: firefox: FTBFS: Don't know how to translate powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu for rustc

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Source: firefox
Version: 56.0-2
Severity: normal
User: debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64

Hi!

I bootstrapped rustc and cargo for ppc64 this weekend, so that
the build dependencies for src:firefox are fulfilled on ppc64
again.

Unfortunately, we are now running into the same problem as on
ppc64el [1] that the firefox build system doesn't know anything
about powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu:

checking for rustc... /usr/bin/rustc
checking for cargo... /usr/bin/cargo
checking rustc version... 1.20.0
checking cargo version... 0.20.0
ERROR: Don't know how to translate powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu for rustc
debian/rules:213: recipe for target 'stamps/configure-browser' failed
make[1]: *** [stamps/configure-browser] Error 1

debian/rules:361: recipe for target 'build-arch' failed
make: *** [build-arch] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-arch subprocess returned exit status 2

Could you add support for ppc64 in a similar way as you added it for ppc64el? [2]

Thanks,
Adrian
