Hi,

the latest version of graph-tool did not build on ppc64el[1].
There is the following error in the log:


/usr/include/boost/math/tools/promotion.hpp:267:27: error: static assertion failed: Sorry, but this platform does not have sufficient long double support for the special functions to be reliably implemented.
267 | static_assert((0 == std::is_same<type, long double>::value), "Sorry, but this platform does not have sufficient long double support for the special functions to be reliably implemented.");
| ~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems the latest boost is doing some check that can not be fulfilled
on ppc64el. Thus I think it is best to remove the binary package for
ppc64el for the moment to enable the testing migration of graph-tool
(and completing the boost transition by doing so).

Kind regards
Andreas.
