Unable to build LDC 1.41 on Linux/PPC64LE #5010
Description
Hi, I'm trying to build an image with LDC (https://hub.docker.com/r/starxen/ldc) on PPC64LE, but unfortunately I encounter an error during the build. Here is where the error occurs:

Below is a minimal Dockerfile that reproduces this build using Docker with buildx (via QEMU on any host):
FROM debian:13 AS build_ldc
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git-core g++ gdc gdmd cmake ninja-build python3 zlib1g-dev libcurl4t64 gdb unzip zip tzdata llvm-dev libclang-common-19-dev && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
WORKDIR /build
RUN git clone https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc && cd ldc && git checkout tags/v1.41.0 && git submodule update --init --recursive
WORKDIR /build/build-ldc
RUN cmake -G Ninja ../ldc -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install-ldc
Based on this Dockerfile
You can run it with the following commands:
docker buildx build -t starxen/ldc:trixie_ppc64le --platform linux/ppc64le --load .
docker run --rm -it --platform linux/ppc64le starxen/ldc:trixie_ppc64le bash
ninja -v -j"$(nproc)"
If I can provide a more detailed log or anything else, please let me know where to send it—I’m happy to help.
