Your own test indicate that ppc64le have both a C1 and a C2 compiler.
The C2 server compiler accept the -XX:+TieredCompilation because it is a C2
specific optimization.

The reason why X86_64 work with -client and -XX:+TieredCompilation is because
the /jre/lib/amd64/jvm.cfg file contain the line -client IGNORE thus X86_64 is
using the server C2 compile for both -client and -server!


A workaround for you is to edit the /jre/lib/ppc*/jvm.cfg on your system and
disable use of the C1 client on ppc64le by changing
-client KNOWN
to
-client IGNORE

With that change you will always use the C2 compiler that accept the
-XX:+TieredCompilation flag, just like x86_64.
