Can this be done via flags, i.e. avoiding the `target.json`?

We are trying to avoid adding new custom targets, since the idea is to
remove our reliance on `target.json`.

If it is not possible to do it via flags only, then we should talk to
upstream to add the needed flags or perhaps a new built-in target.

Thanks!

(By the way, Michael back in 2021 did the original integration of
ppc64le before Rust was merged into mainline -- he may want to take a
look at this :) I see he is in Cc).

Cheers,
Miguel
