Is that a big issue? I got the impression Debian PPC64 was ABI2 only? 
It's just that when I found my new Debian install crashing it came down 
to an ABI issue. As soon as I used an ABI2 kernel my problems went away. 
System, apt and all other binaries started working. When I checked the 
vmlinux 6.12.17-powerpc64 kernel from Debian GNU/Linux 12.0.0 "Sid" - 
Unofficial ppc64 NETINST 20250316 on the net installer it was ABI2.
