Probably not, but it is the gcc compile farm box so upgrades of it
are not in my control. I would be reluctant to lose ppc host coverage.
(/etc/redhat-release says "CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (AltArch)".)

That said, the compile farm does now seem to also have a ppc64 box
running Debian bullseye, which we could perhaps switch to.
