According to https://lld.llvm.org, PowerPC and PowerPC64 are supported arches:

It supports various CPUs/ABIs including AArch64, AMDGPU, ARM, Hexagon,
MIPS 32/64 big/little-endian, PowerPC, PowerPC64, RISC-V, SPARC V9,
x86-32 and x86-64. Among these, AArch64, ARM (>= v6), PowerPC,
PowerPC64, x86-32 and x86-64 have production quality. MIPS seems
decent too.

It may be time to give lld a whirl.

libcxx and libcxxabi may be a different story, however.
