Description

Recent [RaptorCS hardware](https://raptorcs.com/content/base/products.html) makes PowerPC a modern desktop platform which runs Firefox, currently without a Javascript JIT and without WebAssembly support at all.
I read a plan where Cranelift would be used within Firefox for WebAssembly, it would be nice to have JIT support there.
Free IBM POWER9 hardware available from OSUOSL: https://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/request_hosting/ - for Free/Libre and Open Source Software development only. (This project is eligible)
