Comment (by kencu):

 ppcle and ppc/ppc64 are very different beasties. (ppcle means Little
 Endian, the others are Big Endian).

 There apparently is no coroutine implementation for ppc/ppc64:

 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/master/coroutine

 So coroutines should not be used on those systems. It is optional anyway.

 By default it appears that the coroutines should not be enabled on
 ppc*-darwin anyway:

 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/7172ab0ec523fd190f661f52e999307d2e34429f/configure.ac#L2253

 but if somehow they are being accidentally enabled, there is a configure
 argument to force them to be off:

 {{{
 --disable-fiber-coroutine
 }}}
