Comment on attachment 895119 [details] cfitsio-ppc64le_support.patch first patch is obsoleted by a new one
Created attachment 895477 [details] cfitsio-ppc64le_support.patch cfitsio-ppc64le_support.patch is sufficient to have cfitsio to build on ppc64le archi and make check to complete with no error.
This bug is also a blocker to be able to make check pyfits component.
I have built cfitsio with this patch in Rawhide http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6852322
