Is it possible to run Nodejs on powerpc based Linux?

I tried to build the latest Linux 64bit stable version with ./configure make and make install but ended up with this error: 

../deps/openssl/openssl/include/openssl/../../crypto/bn/bn.h:803:23: error: unknown type name ‘BN_ULONG’

So is it actually possible to develop nodejs apps on Debian ppc?

My setup is iMac G5 PowerPC with Debian Wheezy PPC on it.

  • Andrew Low from IBM has developed a PowerPC port of node.js: https://github.com/andrewlow/node as well as V8: https://github.com/andrewlow/v8ppc
