It looks like the problem is actually in the ocaml compiler for PPC. The bug was reported upstream [1]. [1] http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6963
The resolution for this is going to involve switching Fedora over to use the new (nearly-)upstream combined ppc code generator (https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/225). That's something for next week however.
