After browsing the corresponding github issues I think there is virtually
nobody working on the ppc64el port. And I don't have any idea on how to
fix it. So let's inform the reverse dependencies to remove ppc64el support,
or switch back to lua.
The only outcome for this luajit2 transition is that s390x seems working.
