I would personally move this up in the source file. It is related to
the definition of func_desc() and other functions that are
also PPC_ELF_ABI-specific.

Yeah that would be neater. There's already a PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 block, you
could put this in the else case of that.

But we can do that later if you're not respinning otherwise.
