How to put libgcc_s.so.1 (from the udeb package) in the installer environment,
for testing/work-around purposes:

1) Go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/ppc64el/libgcc1/
2) Click the latest (top-most) "Version" link (e.g., 1:5.2.1-15ubuntu5)
from the Release "Pocket" (unless you know you should use Proposed)
3) Copy the link address of the ".deb" file in the "Downloadable files" section
(e.g., http://.../libgcc1_5.2.1-15ubuntu5_ppc64el.deb)

4) On the installer, right after network configuration (username configuration stage),
select "Go Back", and "Execute a shell"
5) Run the following commands:
~ # wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/215539827/libgcc1_5.2.1-15ubuntu5_ppc64el.deb
~ # ar x libgcc1_*.deb
~ # xzcat data.tar.xz | tar x ./lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 -C /
~ # exit

~ # ls /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1

The result with the previous test binary as well (multipath in previous comment):

~ # ./test
~ #
