Ghostscript 9.26 build fails on PowerPC (ppc64le) architecture

I am trying to build Ghostscript 9.26 on rhel 7.6 ppc64le. However the make command fails with:

ERROR:

./sobin/libgs.so: undefined reference to  
     'png_init_filter_functions_vsx'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Python version: Python 3.6.3 Environment : Rhel 7.6 ppc64le Pip: pip 20.0.2 from /opt/rh/rh-python36/root/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)
