  21 qemu and gdb for Power 64 are required.  qemu can be installed with
  22 "apt-get install qemu-system-ppc64", however gdb needs compiling from
  23 source.  Obtain the latest tarball, unpack it, then:
  24
  25     cd gdb-9.1 (or other location)
  26     mkdir build
  27     cd build
  28      ../configure --srcdir=.. --host=x86_64-linux --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu
  29     make -j16
  30     make install
  31
  32 You will need to have installed the powerpc gnu gcc cross-compiler for
  33 this to work:
  34
  35     apt-get install gcc-9-powerpc64-linux-gnu
