Do you have any idea how common such old systems might be?
I don't have a specific number but I think using that old versions of glibc is uncommon specially for POWER8 and above processors considering those versions are more than 8 years old.
Maybe add a configure check for getauxval, and either fail at configure
time if --enable-fat is specified but we can't support it, or fall back to assuming that none of the optional features are present at runtime?
Some preprocessor check of glibc version in fat-ppc.c could work too, if that's simpler.
That's what I ended up with, I made a new merge request for these changes and closed the old one.
