I've deployed these changes on the rhel8-ppc64le and rhel8-s390x machines. For the V8 14.5 update PR: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-v8-linux/7010/ rhel8-s390x is now passing 🎉. Getting Power 9 based machines into the CI is on IBM's list of things to do before Node.js 26 -- I'll look at that next. |

This might not be very near, but as an FYI, V8 might stop supporting ninja one day and fully switch to siso https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/v-WOvWUtOpg |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
One little observation that's easy to fix, and this has made me realise I should set up an environment for building V8 on my laptop :-)
Since it's been tested by deploying it this LGTM 👍🏻

@sxa if it's Linux on ppc64le and/or s390x, see https://github.com/ibmruntimes/v8-build. |
