there is a single qemu for both ppc64 and ppc64le guests

regarding the original issue, I think it might be a deficiency in the
full emulation of power9 cpus in qemu

We stopped supporting big-endian ppc64 a few releases back, so probably
at that point the big-endian qemu executable was dropped and the
little-endian one was given the 'ppc64' name.

I can't find that executable anywhere. However, switching from power9 to
power8 appears to have eliminated the issues.

Looks like you are running an LE image in the BE machine:

try qemu-system-ppc64le

I'm trying to track down a build error in my package that appears only on
ppc64le architectures in Rawhide. As I have no access to ppc64le machines,

of the more useful commands aren't working properly. Like "dnf".


Can't help you with qemu, but just wanted to point out that as a packager, 
you do have access to a ppc64le machine, see:
