virt-what is using an old version of config.guess, which means it can not properly detect ppc64le. Using the config.guess from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD, platform is successfully guessed. See below output for an example. Note, config.guess.bak is the version that ships with virt-what-1.15.
