The image builder for the ar71xx target is now in the ppc64le architecture, whereas before it was a normal x64 architecture.
Now I can't build a firmware for my Archer c7 router.
Why was this change made? The other targets are using the Linux-x86_64 architecture.

to reproduce:

  1. visit this address:
    https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ar71xx/generic/

  2. you will find that this file is missing:
    openwrt-imagebuilder-ar71xx-generic.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
    it is replaced by this file:
    openwrt-imagebuilder-ar71xx-generic.Linux-ppc64le.tar.xz

Just checked it myself, the page you linked is at the moment in expected state, i.e. filename of the imagebuilder has Linux-x86_64 instead of ppc64le.

This is weird. That part of the name consist of $(HOST_OS)-$(HOST_ARCH), where HOST_ARCH should take the value of "uname -m". I don't know that we have ppc64le machine in the builders.

Yes, there was one, but jow has removed it until this issue with IB/SDK is fixed. Once it's fixed, we might get some macOS builder(s) as well.
