Hi Robert.  Thanks for your work!  I'm not aware of anyone testing it on
PPC, so this is most likely a real bug -- libidn2 is mostly only tested
on my own laptop.  I'll see if I can figure out what the problem is, or
even try to reproduce the problem, I think I have access to some PPC
systems.

It looks indeed like a serious problem.  It is probably best to wait
with the upload until it resolved.
