How severe do you think this error is? Does it indicate that sbcl is 
useless on ppc64el or is this a niche use case?

Removal of sbcl on ppc64el seems to be going to be non-trivial as it's a 
key package via cl-cffi which is needed for brltty which is very 
important for our accessibility support (pulled in via d-i if I'm not 
mistaken).
