What you expected to happen: ppc64le architecture-specific binary should get build

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=ppc64le go build -o syft-ppc64le ./cmd/syft/

Anything else we need to know?:

[root@tonearms1 syft]# arch
ppc64le
[root@tonearms1 syft]#

Environment:

• Output of syft version:
• OS (e.g: cat /etc/os-release or similar):

Looks like the code was generated and added for the ppc64le architecture 2 months ago:
https://gitlab.com/cznic/libc/-/blob/master/errno/capi_linux_ppc64le.go

Tag 1.14.1 was released 5 months ago. I'm guessing we need to bump the version of this library to resolve this.

Let me see if there are any compatibility issues with moving this up to a newer version and where it lives in the syft dependency graph.

Thanks for filing the bug @mayurwaghmode!

Thanks, @spiffcs for looking into this :)

@mayurwaghmode feel free to use the branch I pushed for testing purposes:

I'll get someone to approve it and we'll get this resolved
