Hello L&G.

I will detail prior and post patch for both ppc64le and ppc64 architectures,
so I can indicate that my patch will not affect either negatively.
That is because I just noticed that upstream version is now on version 0.33.1
and there are additional tests.
v0.32.6 prior patch:
 ppc64le: 8 tests failed
 ppc64: all tests passed
v0.32.6 patched:
 ppc64le: all tests passed
 ppc64: all tests passed
v0.33.1 prior patch:
 ppc64le: 10 tests failed
 ppc64: 1 test failed
v0.33.1 patched:
 ppc64le: all tests passed
 ppc64: 1 test failed

Also, Siarhei Siamashka mentioned it would be good if I demonstrated that it
also does not affect ppc in 32-bit mode. I am not sure on how to do so. Any
suggestions?
If you have any concerns, please let me know.
