I checked again, and gcc does indeed use the "le" suffix.

gcc/config/rs6000/linux64.h has:

#define MUSL_DYNAMIC_LINKER64 \
  "/lib/ld-musl-powerpc64" MUSL_DYNAMIC_LINKER_E "%{msoft-float:-sf}.so.1"


The two places that define MUSL_DYNAMIC_LINKER_E define it like so:

gcc/config/rs6000/sysv4.h:

#define MUSL_DYNAMIC_LINKER_E ENDIAN_SELECT("", "le", "")

gcc/config/rs6000/sysv4le.h:

#define MUSL_DYNAMIC_LINKER_E ENDIAN_SELECT("", "le", "le")
