Comment:

 Are you sure your machine is running in little endian mode? In the
 configure script     `compilingghc8.0.1onpowerpc64le` it is detected as
 powerpc64 which is big endian.

 The bindist you downloaded is for big endian systems there is no bindist
 for powerpc64le available on the GHC site.

 I prepared a powerpc64le bindist for GHC 8.2.1 for openSUSE. You can find
 it here:
 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:haskell/ghc-
 bootstrap

 If you are looking for a newer GHC (8.2.1 cannot be used to bootstrap
 8.6.1) you can find
 a GHC 8.4.3 bindist for powerpc64le temporarily here:
 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ptrommler:branches:devel:languages:haskell
 /ghc-bootstrap

 Hope that helps.

 I'll close the ticket as invalid for now. Please reopen if it still
 doesn't work.
