Description
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
I tried to build `pyarrow` on my PowerPC machine and got the following error at destroot:
```

I am pretty sure this is something silly like a definition is missing somewhere, but I do not know where to look. Could you help me?
The build itself works, AFAICT, we only need to allow it to install.
