Egads.  We had thought about this at one point, and it seems to have slipped 
our collective minds.  Many things will be able to build, but some thing that 
require previously Extras packages in the buildroot will fail.  I've setup a 
tracker bug to track these.  If your package fails to build, please file a 
bug for it and block 'PPC64MissingDeps'.  We will be trying to fix these 
asap, by bootstrapping and rebuilding ex-Extras packages to generate a ppc64 
build of them.  If at all possible, please do not ExcludeArch: ppc64.
