#6184: suitesparse can't be installed in ppc64 el6 buildroots

I'm running into trouble building GeographicLib in epel6. GeographicLib
requires octave, which in turn requires suitesparse. It looks like
suitesparse was in epel for a while, but got absorbed into rhel at some
point and blocked from the buildroots. Since centos doesn't provide ppc64
packages, the ppc64 octave package in epel now has missing dependencies on
suitesparse libraries and can't be installed in koji.
What's the best way forward for this issue? Is it to:
- Unblock the epel6 suitesparse and make it exclusivearch ppc64?
- Rebuild all of the dependencies of suitesparse to excludearch ppc64?
- Make octave-GeographicLib excludearch ppc64 and ignore the issue
entirely?
Please advise.
