gqrx crashes when initializing dsp (exotic architecture) #781

Hello,
I'm having an issue involving gqrx, where I get a segmentation fault (core dumped) error any time I try to initialize my SDR. Here is the background on my current setup...

  1. I'm currently running on Fedora 31 on ppc64le architecture
  2. I have a nuand bladeRF 2.0 connected via a SuperSpeed xHCI USB port
  3. The bladeRF utilities detect the SDR with no issues
  4. I compiled GNU Radio 3.8, gr-osmosdr, and the latest gqrx from source

I have been able to start up gqrx successfully and select the bladeRF device from the drop down list in the configure I/O devices dialog box. However, upon starting the DSP, the entire program crashes and I get the following text in terminal...

[jsn@hamshack-ppc64le ~]$ gqrx

[bladeRF source] bladerf_source_c: DEBUG: initialization complete

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Could there be an additional library I need to compile for my specific architecture that is normally "assumed" for x86_64 style set ups? Is there a way I can present more detailed and meaningful detail for research purposes? The error is a bit vague, and other solutions to this kind of error don't seem to be applicable to my situation. Any advice is welcomed!
