Thanks for your explanation,but why Node.JS? Why don't we have it on ppc32?
One alternative is to build either Firefox using nodejsc or use a version of Firefox that requires rust but not Node.JS

Rust isn't the only requirement for Firefox these days, but we also need
NodeJS which is currently not available on 32-bit PowerPC.
While it is possible to cross-transpile the _javascript_ files for PowerPC
from x86_64, no one has implemented that yet for Debian, so we currently
cannot build Firefox on 32-bit PowerPC.
