AltiVec, matching the CPU used by the iMac G5. It targets 64-bit Linux; use a
PowerPC64 Linux installation or live environment on the machine to run it.
PPC64 is source-build support only. The commonly available PPC64 cross-build
libc requires POWER6 instructions and produces release binaries that fault on
the iMac G5's PowerPC 970. Build `linux-ppc64be` natively on the G5 so it uses
the compatible Arch POWER ELFv2 runtime.
Release binaries statically include OpenSSL. Linux releases are fully static;
macOS releases retain only Apple's required system-library linkage because the
macOS toolchain does not support fully static executables.

Pushing a Git tag runs the GitHub Actions build and correctness tests. If they
succeed, the workflow creates a GitHub Release named `Release <tag name>` with
