Maybe we can handle PPC64 as our first "secondary arch testbed"? E.g.
enable ppc64 everywhere, but having a package that fails to build on
ppc64 would not block the rebuild package to enter the i386, x86_64 and
ppc repos. Or does support for this not exists yet in Koji? Then this
might be a bad idea...
