The java process exits with error code 255 despite successfully building
maven2, on ppc64. This behaviour is unique to ppc64, and does not occur on
other archs. You can see the build log for such a build here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=144590&name=build.log

I can reliably reproduce this on other ppc64 boxes when I try to build
maven2. However, narrowing it down to a smaller testcase is proving more 
cumbersome than I expected :/
