build failure on ppc64el in Debian and linux

[LocutusOfBorg]

Hello, I got a Debian bug report, but it turns out the problem is in your tarball you unpack during make install, because you don't run configure file for embedded libpng in case you are not using the system implementation.

I attached an analysis on that bug report, thanks for having a look!

Hey, I have also run into this issue, is there anyway to patch in this fix in an automated fashion without having to fail and resume the build? I have found from this answer that you can fix this behavior by setting -DPNG_POWERPC_VSX_OPT=0 in CFLAGS but I can't figure out any way to apply that to the global npm install command without failing the build, manually editing files, then resuming the build.
