That looks like a broken build environment - it's getting libdir=/usr/lib64 for a ppc32 build? + ./configure --build=powerpc-redhat-linux-gnu --host=powerpc-redhat-linux-gnu --target=ppc-redhat-linux-gnu ... --libdir=/usr/lib64 ...
Toggled to private, yeah, I guess. Still: never should you have libdir=/usr/lib64 for a 32-bit ppc build. That just doesn't make sense.
This is either an rpm configuration issue or something; it needs more investigation to assign properly, either way. Can't reproduce on a RHEL4/ppc64 P5 box here: jorton@jupiter:~$ ppc rpmbuild --target ppc --eval %{_libdir} /usr/lib rpmbuild: no spec files given for build
