So, the first thing to clarify is that EPEL builds against RHEL, not 
CentOS.  And unfortunately RHEL ppc64 is missing some packages as well, 
suitesparse may be one of them.  I'll let someone who has direct access 
confirm.

Choices are:

- Add ExcludeArch: ppc64 to ceres-solver
- Resurrect suitesparse in EPEL as a limited arch package:
