Thanks for your report.

I’m afraid I don’t have ready access to ppc hardware nor much time to spend on ppc.  Can you capture a full backtrace?  (You’ll probably need to change the fs.suid_dumpable sysctl value.)
Comment 2 Helmut Schlattl 2014-08-21 16:23:48 UTC 
See output of 'gdb polkitd' in attachment.

Apparently, libmozjs-17.0.so is causing some problems.

Installed: mozjs17-17.0.0-8.fc20.ppc

Thanks, that is familiar…  Closing as the nearest duplicate, but see also bug #971519.
