The comment in the test file stated that: "SIMD is not supported on rhel8-ppc64le" This is incorrect -- WASM SIMD support is dependent on the available instructions, not the operating system. So it is more correct to say that WASM SIMD is not supported on IBM Power8 architecture.

Currently in our CI, it just so happens that all of our
rhel8-ppc64lemachines are IBM Power8, while, for example, therhel9-ppc64lemachines were provisioned as IBM Power9, but AFAIK you could be running either RHEL 8/9 on either architecture (or newer).FTR other (non-IBM) "older architectures" without WASM SIMD support include some Athlon chips (but we don't have any of those in our CI): nodejs/undici#2934 (comment)
