I can not run node.js on PowerPC 440EP, I get only the "Invalid instruction" error.

Software Information:
I am using the compiler powerpc-440-linux-gnu (version 5.2.0) and Linux v3.6.7.
I tried to use different versions of the sources:
*node-0.10-ppc* from https:
*node-4.x-port* from https:
*node-v4.4.7* from https:
*node-6.x* from https:
I use the following script to build node.js:
#!/bin/bash
CROSS_COMPILER=powerpc-440-linux-gnu
HOST=powerpc-linux
ENDIAN=big
BUILD_PATH=/home/user/node
CFLAGS=-Os
JOBS=4
export ARCH=ppc
export CC=${CROSS_COMPILER}-gcc
export CXX=${CROSS_COMPILER}-g++
export CFLAG=${CFLAGS}
export AR=${CROSS_COMPILER}-ar r
export LINK=${CROSS_COMPILER}-g++
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/user/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/bin
./configure --without-snapshot --prefix=${BUILD_PATH} --dest-cpu=ppc --dest-os=linux
make -j ${JOBS}
make install
- What version of node.js should i use?
- Do we have a working portable version of node.js for PowerPC 440EP?
Print Update
I got the following response on the problems page at https://github.com/nodejs :
[Michael Dawson] The particular chip mentioned is based on the older PowerPC cores and does not have all of the Power5+ instructions available.
