py311-mypy @1.7.1 does not build on PowerPC: {standard input}: unknown: FATAL: Section too large, can't encode r_address (0x109e874) into 24-bits of scattered relocation entry

First problem is that gcc-4.2 fails right-away, not supporting several flags which the build uses. After blacklisting gcc-4.2, appropriate compiler is picked, however after quite some time the build fails:

Something got broken relatively recently, it seems, since I have py310-mypy @1.5.1 installed on the same system.

Anyway, I have found a fix. Will make a PR soon.
