Description Menanteau Guy 2015-03-04 17:02:57 UTC 
Source package xalan-c-1.11.0-2 used by EPEL7 does not support ppc64le.
A newer version supporting this architecture should be used instead.
Comment 1 Yaakov Selkowitz 2015-11-26 00:53:23 UTC 
Same applies to aarch64.  This was fixed for f21 in commit b8d9a3f (the very next commit after epel7 branched), but as there have been no code changes since, a simple merge from master will fix this.

Comment 4 Menanteau Guy 2015-12-14 10:52:07 UTC 
xalan-c-1.11.0-3.el7 failed on an epel7 ppc64le.

configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

This happened because of following line in the spec:
# Update config.guess for new architectures
cp /usr/lib/rpm/config.guess config.guess

Because of the rpm-4.11.3-17 package version on redhat, /usr/lib/rpm/config.guess and config.sub comming from rpm package are not set correctly for ppc64le and these files can not be used directly. 
Note that /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/config... handle ppc64le correctly.

IMO this should be fixed in RHEL rpm; I filed bug 1291377 accordingly.
