Nodejs node binary core dumped(Ilegal Insatruction) - node.js

Question

I am working on bit-bake environment. I am using nodejs ver 10.15.3
dest cpu == ppc64 linux
My problem is node binary core dumps and I am not able to identify the root cause. I am trying to compile nodejs for dest cpu(ppc64).
I am not sure but I guess there are runtime requirements which are not satisfied on the target machine.
below is my recipe:-

I am able to apply gdb to node binary below is the snapshot. It core dumps at this point.

Nodejs is not supported on PPC64 LE architecture. There is only support for the Big Endian platform on PPC architecture till 7.9 Version.
