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.)
See output of 'gdb polkitd' in attachment. Apparently, libmozjs-17.0.so is causing some problems. Installed: mozjs17-17.0.0-8.fc20.ppc
