Description:
------------
As part of building the php package, Guix runs the testsuite.

The following tests fail on powerpc64le-linux:

=====================================================================
FAILED TEST SUMMARY
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Test simple recursive watchpoint [sapi/phpdbg/tests/watch_001.phpt]
Test simple watchpoint with replace [sapi/phpdbg/tests/watch_003.phpt]
Test detection of inline string manipulations on zval watch [sapi/phpdbg/tests/watch_004.phpt]
Test proper watch comparisons when having multiple levels of indirection from a zval to its value [sapi/phpdbg/tests/watch_005.phpt]
Test multiple watch elements pointing to the same watchpoint [sapi/phpdbg/tests/watch_006.phpt]
=====================================================================

I'll see if I can upload the test report and individual test logs for more information.

From looking at the logs, it looks like watchpoints don't work on this platform.
From a very cursory look at phpdbg_watch.c, it seems that it is sensitive to the page size, which on powerpc64le-linux is 64KB. This may be a shot in the dark, but perhaps the problem is related to this?

The kernel version is 5.10.0-0.bpo.8-powerpc64le (Debian's buster kernel).

Expected result:
----------------
All watchpoint tests pass.

Actual result:
--------------
The tests mentioned in the description are failing.

Apparently I can only attach patches to bug reports, so I'll just concatenate the watch_*.log files here instead:

I just noticed this: watch_002.phpt passes.
