Description:
extra/qemu-system-ppc 7.1.0-4

Firmware does not boot, display is not initialized, no firmware prompt without graphics. Guests can not boot in qemu-system-ppc.

7.0.0-12 works as intended.

As of https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/xau90m/comment/inz6qq4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3, I rebuild the qemu package with options=(!strip) added back to package_qemu-system-ppc() and the rebuild package works fine.

Thank you for you attention.

@Mika79: Thanks for creating the ticket and testing this!

Will revert this for qemu-system-ppc in a pkgrel bump! :)
For the ppc stuff I have also contemplated packaging slof, if it's fewer effort, maybe I'll include that instead of relying on qemu upstream blobs.
