somehow gcc build is detecting that you have enabled PPL support, I
dont think we either enable or disable it by default. So I think your
build system has the header file ppl_c.h installed but library itself
is not installed. If you remove ppl installation from your build host
it would work and if you install the ppl packages propertly it should
work too.
