I rebuilt all immediately problematic packages which use pthread_ and clock_ functions and had the ppc64le optimization, except kernel (which will be fixed by the upgrade to kernel-4.13.0-0.rc3.git0.1.fc27) and community-mysql (which ran into an apparently known issue related to unstable test cases and failed to build on x86-64, not ppc64le-specific). For ceph, I reenabled ppc64le support. For python3, I had to disable split debuginfo to get it to build, based on guidance from the RPM debuginfo folks (thanks Igor and Mark). Beyond the minimal rebuild set, I attempted further rebuilds to avoid subsequent breakage due to library updates. I think we now have a package set that is fairly risk-free as far as further uploads and rebuilds are concerned (for example, I bootstrapped binutils, so that it would not impacted by future glibc or gcc changes). I did not rebuild everything affected because I soon ran into hard-to-debug unrelated build failures (e.g., for couchdb). Some issues I fixed (MariaDB breakage of lua-sql, s390x build failure of evince, highlight /usr/share/doc dependency extraction issue). Nick uploaded a new binutils version with the upstream patches, but as far as I can tell, the stop-gap patch was sufficient. We still need to do a new mass rebuild because the issue affected feature detection. For example perl-Time-HiRes lost its clock_gettime support because a run-time check at build time failed. I discovered this only as the result of a build failure; such issues are really hard to find by other means if everything automatically adjusts to the missing feature.
