Hi,  
I tried to build Kibana 7.2.1 to run on ppc64le platform. But I run into issue on building nodegit. npm install and then npm get modular loading error and npm rebuild binary gives error on  
[nodegit] Configuring libssh2.  
make: \*\*\* No rule to make target `Release/obj.target/libgit2/vendor/libgit2/src/alloc.o', needed by`Release/obj.target/vendor/git2.a'. Stop.

I am using gcc 4.9.4, node v10.15.2. My openssl is 1.0.2k-fips  
nodegit @0.25.0-alpha.23  
Can someone let me know what I can try to make this work?  
Thanks,

---

I think there is a fix going in 7.3.0 or 7.3.1 for nodegit that will allow older versions of gcc when compiling.
