Thanks for the inputs.

I manually tried running testsuite of yosyos package on my local ppc64el 
machines and didn't get any timeout issue.
Below was the time taken by p9 and p10 system.

POWER10 system:
- debian/tests/yosys-testsuite: 32 minutes 34 seconds

POWER9 system
- debian/tests/yosys-testsuite: 64 minutes 18 seconds

On both systems tests passed successfully, which aligns with your 
53-minute result on platti.debian.org
So I guess this does not appear to be a misaligned memory access issue 
on ppc64el.

I am looking into how we can avoid timeout issue.

Thanks,
Trupti
