Indeed :)

Are you talking about:
1. Using powerpc64le/power64 as the *build* machine
2. Using powerpc64le/powerpc64 as the *target*
I'd say that both are useful, though (2) looks more interesting to me.

Depends if you're talking about (1) or (2), so let's talk about both.
(1) Requires you to have a machine available to do builds. You install
the autobuild-run script from
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot-test/tree/scripts/autobuild-run
on this machine, and simply run it. By default, it simply does
some builds and keeps the build results around. This way, you can
check if everything looks OK and you don't have bogus results due
to missing things on the build machine. Once you have run this for
about a day and checked that there doesn't seem to be any bogus
result, then I can create credentials for you so that
autobuild-run can upload the build results on
http://autobuild.buildroot.org.
(2) Requires adding some base toolchain configurations in
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot-test/tree/web/toolchains/configs/.
One .config file per toolchain configuration, and each of them
should be referenced in toolchain-configs.csv.
Also, if you're interested in powerpc64 and powerpc64le and we indeed
add toolchain configurations in the autobuilders, it would be nice if
you could add:
N: Sam Bobroff <sam.bobroff at au1.ibm.com>
F: arch/Config.in.powerpc
to the DEVELOPERS file. This way, you will receive a daily e-mail with
the failures that occurred on powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le (i.e
all BR2_ARCH values described in arch/Config.in.powerpc).
Thanks!
Thomas
