Comment (by flip101):

 Hi francescantoncastro, is this problem important for you now? What about
 using an older GHC version for your project as a temporary solution?

 The powerpc64 is a tier2 platform which is low priority according to
 platforms page
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms#Tier2platforms

 It wouldn't be good to let this bug block the 8.6.1 release which was
 suppose to come out last august according to the project page
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-8.6.1

 Maybe the milestone can be moved to a later GHC version or bug priority
 set to low/lowest. What do you think?
