julia-1.9.3 on ibm power9 ppc64le

I successfully created a sysimage with Flux, FastAI, … but can’t incrementally add CairoMakie due to relocation error. Working sysimage.so is 821MB large.

Is there a known workaround ?  
Is it possible to pass `-mlong-call` option to compiler ? `sysimage_build_args=Cmd(["-mlong-calls"])` is not working…
