- Subject changed from chromeec fails to build with undefined references to `ftdi_*` to Building Chrome EC within coreboot requires libftdi for no good reason
I don't think the issue is architecture specific: these are libftdi symbols and that only depends on libusb which should be architecture independent as well.
The actionable task for this may be to not build EC utilities that aren't necessary for just building EC.

In Ubuntu 20.04
libftdi-dev/focal,now 0.20-4build8 ppc64el [installed]
wasn’t enough. After installing libftdi1-dev the build succeeded.
