I presume this only fixes the *build* for ppc64le - have you tried running anything?  Dyninst is the sort of package that needs specific architectural knowledge, so I doubt it will work on LE without further changes.  (In fact, next time I rebase the package I intend to flip the spec's ExcludeArch to an ExclusiveArch, because a whitelist makes more sense in this case.)

you are right, I only tried a build that was in the list of failed in mass rebuild on ppc64le.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 5 Rafael Fonseca 2015-08-13 15:26:16 UTC 
dyninst is now arch-exclusive. Can we close this bug?
Comment 6 Josh Stone 2015-08-13 16:49:16 UTC 
Yeah, we can close it.  If anyone wants ppc64le support, they should work upstream.
