Comment 1 Rafael Fonseca 2015-12-04 16:22:09 UTC 
The problem seems to be in the bundled jna from nqp:

sh-4.3# jar tf /usr/share/nqp/runtime/jna.jar | grep linux
com/sun/jna/linux-x86/
com/sun/jna/linux-x86/libjnidispatch.so
com/sun/jna/linux-x86-64/
com/sun/jna/linux-x86-64/libjnidispatch.so
com/sun/jna/linux-arm/
com/sun/jna/linux-arm/libjnidispatch.so

As in [1], the jna needs to be updated to a version with ppc64/ppc64le support [2]. That's probably the case in rawhide, where the error doesn't happen [3].

[1] https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-15792
[2] https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/pull/425/files
[3] http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=353690

The problem also happens on ppc64.
Comment 2 Gerd Pokorra 2015-12-06 06:03:44 UTC 
At line 50 to 53 of the spec is defined that the build of the JVM subpackage will not be done for the i686 architecture:

%define build_jvm_exec 1
%ifarch i686
%define build_jvm_exec 0
%endif

You can make a simple workaround and disable the building of the JVM subpackage also for the ppc architechture:

%define build_jvm_exec 1
%ifarch i686 ppc ppc64
%define build_jvm_exec 0
%endif
Comment 3 Gerd Pokorra 2015-12-07 18:44:57 UTC 
At

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12100307

is a rawhide scratch build that do not bundle jna.
Comment 4 Gerd Pokorra 2015-12-09 03:51:36 UTC 
Indeed the scratch build only overwrite the nqp jna with the jna of the system and bundle this. Now the is a nqp build (nqp-0.0.2015.11-3.fc24) in rawhide the really do not bundle jna:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12117454

Does this fix the problem?
Comment 5 Gerd Pokorra 2015-12-09 03:55:22 UTC 
I wanted to write:

Now there is a nqp build (nqp-0.0.2015.11-3.fc24) in rawhide that really do not bundle jna.
Comment 6 Gerd Pokorra 2015-12-14 17:08:34 UTC 
rakudo-star builds also with the jvm executable at the top of the nqp ((nqp-0.0.2015.11-4.fc24) that do not bundle jna.


A ppc scratch build is at:

http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2990815



A rebuild at the primary architecture is running.


Rafael thank you for the tip.
