ar71xx image builder x64 is replaced by ppc64le

Username: M. M. A.

The image builder for the ar71xx target is now in the ppc64le architecture, whereas before it was a normal x64 architecture.

Now I can’t build a firmware for my Archer c7 router.

Why was this change made? The other targets are using the Linux-x86_64 architecture.

to reproduce:

  1. visit this address:
