Hi,

I am building filebeat from source on my ppc64le machine. When I run the command "make" the build is successful but when I try to run the binary, I get "Illegal instruction" error. Not any command is working, it just prints "Illegal instruction" and exits.

Please help in figuring out if there is an issue in building process or do I need to change some env stuff.  
TIA.  
Peeyush
