From QEMU's source files

# Install prerequisite rpms to build the source code
sudo dnf install pixman-devel gcc make git python38

# Download source code
wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-9.1.0.tar.xz
tar xvJf qemu-9.1.0.tar.xz
cd qemu-9.1.0
mkdir build

../configure --target-list='ppc64-softmmu ppc-softmmu' --prefix=/opt/qemu
make
make install
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 --version

If you don not mentioned the --target-list='ppc64-softmmu ppc-softmmu', it will build more than 50 machines emulator, and will take a longer time to compile. fore more info, type #../configure -h
