Hi,
nothing happened since then.
I was trying to reproduce but it seems (to me) down to none of us knowing how to correctly resolve libraries.

So before here people reported:
- static builds work
- dynamic builds fail for some with ld.so failing and crashing for others
- dynamic builds fail

To resolve this a bit one has to follow [1] which also needs [2].
Once you did that the issue of the missing ld.so (of the target arch) is resolved.

Doing that I can re-create the issue - even on xenial still with a much newer qemu.
I can also confirm that doing the same e.g. with armhf is working - so it must be ppc specific.
Given the fact that this is a super rare case to need it and OTOH powerpc is mostly dropped in more recent releases this is still a low prio issue.

So even if it is low prio for me, I hope the links help if a community member wants to get onto this. to not let this bug hang-on for another few years I'll mark the tasks incomplete to see if one is still caring and might have a suggestion.
If for quite long again nobody volunteers to help or has a suggestion we might end up closing it.
Sorry but better honest than faking activity here :-/
