Description of problem: Source package libunwind-1.1-3 used by EPEL7 does not support ppc64le. A newer version supporting this architecture should be used instead.
There is no stable release of libunwind that supports ppc64le. It looks like there is some code in git to add support, but I'm not comfortable cherry picking code from git here. I think your best bet is to open an issue with the libunwind upstream asking for a stable release based on the git code: http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/

What do you mean by "no stable release of libunwind that supports ppc64le" ? At least for build, a libunwind ppc64le seems exist. I see in http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=3743 a libunwind-1.1-5 built for ppc64le no so far from the libunwind-1.1-3 currently used in epel7. Only differences are: - Replacing ppc64 with the power64 macro (#1051641) - Link test_ppc64_altivec against libunwind in tests/Makefile.am to fix build on ppc64. First corresponding to a change in the spec - ExclusiveArch: %{arm} aarch64 hppa ia64 mips ppc ppc64 %{ix86} x86_64 + ExclusiveArch: %{arm} aarch64 hppa ia64 mips ppc %{power64} %{ix86} x86_64 And second is the add of libunwind-fix-ppc64_test_altivec.patch
Are you sure it actually works though? If you've tested that libunwind code on ppc64le and confirmed proper functionality, I'll fix the spec to enable it as a target.
Didn't test it, this is why I asked you what did you mean by "support". My comment was only relative to build. I will try to test it when I get some time.
Now shipped in RHEL 7 but only for x86_64
