No, that won't work.
The issue is the ppc64el compiler is behaving differently than the amd64
compiler.
The warning would be an error on any platform.
It's not an warning on amd64, nor is it a warning for ppc64el in debian.

I've spent the time I have here. On the Debian side I'd definitely take
a patch that added extra extranious initializations to pacify the
compiler.
I recommend that approach to avoid a divergence between ubuntu and
debian.
