Current version of /usr/share/automake/config.guess doesn't support ppc64le architecture. It means upstream source archives created with automake from F-20 can't be easily rebuilt on ppc64le architecture. The problem is not visible in koji or during rpm builds because %configure macro replaces the config.* files with the latest ones.

Dan, when I firstly read this bug, I thought it was request for syncing config.{guess,sub} with gnuconfig upstream. But apparently, this issue is not fixed upstream yet?
Well, I am a bit confused too :-) [root@ibm-power7r2-01-le02 ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) [root@ibm-power7r2-01-le02 ~]# rpm -q automake automake-1.14.1-4.fc21.noarch [root@ibm-power7r2-01-le02 ~]# /usr/share/automake-1.14/config.guess powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu [sharkcz@ibm-power7r2-02-le02 ~]$ /usr/share/automake-1.14/config.guess -v GNU config.guess (2013-11-29) the RHEL 7.0 automake also understands ppc64le and I don't see any LE specific patches [sharkcz@ibm-power7r2-01-le01 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo) [sharkcz@ibm-power7r2-01-le01 ~]$ rpm -q automake automake-1.13.4-3.bs3.noarch [sharkcz@ibm-power7r2-01-le01 ~]$ /usr/share/automake-1.13/config.guess powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu [sharkcz@ibm-power7r2-01-le01 ~]$ /usr/share/automake-1.13/config.guess -v GNU config.guess (2013-06-10) but with config.guess extracted from automake-1.13.4-5.fc20.noarch.rpm I get [sharkcz@ibm-power7r2-01-le01 ~]$ ./config.guess -v GNU config.guess (2012-12-29) Originally written by Per Bothner.

I updated the config.{guess,sub} to upstream git-HEAD as is encouraged by upstream anyway, should work for you also. I'll make bodhi update once automake-1.13.4-6.fc20 becomes built.
