Nice bug; this one is my favourite: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1308 -- PPC64 noarch builds don't expand %{_libdir} to the correct place.
You absolutely *cannot* build Eclipse plugins on ppc64 hosts because of this beauty. The current workaround is to just keep resubmitting the build until Koji picks an i386, x86_64 or ppc host. (Nothing to do with Eclipse either, BTW, seems like an RPM or mock problem.)
Sweet ... and of course removing PPC64 from the primary arch set does nothing to help you on this, since those machines are still in the build farm, and will have to stay there for at least another year to support F11/F12.
Actually when removed as a primary arch I do believe no build will be done (even noarch) on a ppc builder. It cannot init a buildroot as there are no archful packages for ppc.
