powerpc-common is shared between uclibc and eglibc at present and may
be shared with other OSes that may build with OE in future.
traditionally powerpc-common implicitly implied 32bit so I am not
surprised if its broken for ppc64. You could add powerpc64-common
and leave 32bit alone. See how its done for mips64 in oe.dev
