[OUTDATED] Installation script for rustup/rust on RHEL 7/CentOS 7 PowerPC (ppc64le) (the precompiled rustup binaries do not work on these systems)

[[ $(arch) == "ppc64le" ]] || { echo "This script needs to be run on ppc64le, not $(arch)."; exit 1; }

This script is not necessary anymore since rustup 1.18 integrated a fix for ppc64le (rust-lang/rustup#1681)
