Description
Trying to build zerotier 1.12.2 on a PowerMac G5 running debian trixie/sid.
from debian-ports, (ppc64 version, bigendian, 64bit)
system@deb-ppc-g5:~$ lsb_release -a

The problem arises when make-linux.mk runs gcc -dumpmachine and gets:
powerpc64-linux-gnu
Several flavours of ppc are tested but not powerpc64.
powerpc is bigendian but I guess it is 32bit.
I added some lines make-linux.mk changing powerpc with powerpc64.

After this change the build was successful and it is running fine.
I'm also attaching the output of zerotier-selftest.
Maybe someone also tries to build ZeroTierOne on an old Mac running debian

Research direction
Start in make-linux.mk and compare the existing architecture checks with the attached diff.txt, focusing on the powerpc64 result from gcc -dumpmachine. Reproduce the build on Debian ppc64 if available, then confirm that ZeroTier builds successfully and that zerotier-selftest passes as reported in ztest.txt.
