Pre-built binary for Linux ppc64le #2854

Description

@runlevel5

Firstly I would like to express my gratitude to all people who have contributed to qsv and xsv. The software is probably one of the best CSV tooling out there.

I've been using qsv for a while in research institutions which run PowerPC64 LE Linux. You would be surprised to know that CSV is still a very popular file format for data. If you have not followed the PowerPC scene, IBM is still developing and supporting PowerPC-based server and workstation, in fact they have just announced the IBM POWER11 CPU so you could bet the architecture is alive. Additionally the POWER-based computing is also popular amongst enthusiasts with companies like RaptorCS making Talos II or Blackbird workstation and marketed them at much affordable price tag.

It would be awesome for adoption if the project could offer pre-built Linux binary for PPC64LE. The binary could be cross-compiled without having a native POWER-based computing hardware. I am hopeful that by making the app easier for distribution it would encourage the PowerPC community to enhance this app further by introducing patches to use native POWER SIMD for examples

Great thanks for your consideration.
