Agreed — the existing ppc64le implementation doesn’t contain much endianness-specific logic. However, reusing and renaming the existing ppc64le code would require several modifications to the current linux_ppc64le implementation, which we’d prefer to keep intact to avoid impacting the existing code path.

Therefore, we decided to develop the PPC big-endian (BE) support from scratch to maintain clear separation. 
We also have a plan to add 32-bit support in the future, and this approach will allow us to reuse or consolidate common functionality within shared PPC-BE files for both 64 and 32.
