RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
-----------------------
With my `libtommath` package test build, `dvipdf` fails on rhel7 ppc64le arch:

...
dvipdf tommath
/usr/bin/dvipdf: line 46:  2731 Broken pipe             exec dvips -R -Ppdf $DVIPSOPTIONS -q -f "$infile"
      2732 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) | $GS_EXECUTABLE $OPTIONS -q -P- -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile="$outfile" $OPTIONS -c .setpdfwrite -
...

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5945/12515945/build.log

All other archs on the same distribution don't cause any problems:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12515942


Version-Release number of selected component:
-----------------------
ghostscript.ppc64le 0:9.07-18.el7
According to https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5945/12515945/root.log


How reproducible:
-----------------------
Always, during package build


Steps to Reproduce:
-----------------------
1. Get package to be built (e.g., from a Koji successful build):
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12515943
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/5943/12515943/libtommath-0.43.0-2.el7.src.rpm
2. Run Koji scratch build against this SRPM package


Additional info:
-----------------------
Package build fails on ppc64le in rhel7.
Although it builds fine on ppc64le in f22, f23: http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?owner=dfateyev&state=all

As it turns out, the same problem seen also in current `libtommath` version. There is some workaround not to use `dvipdf` at all:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libtommath.git/commit/?h=epel7&id=7c9593329f1f5e341513a9c58653347471d5c803
But I believe that's no sane tendency.
