A few suggestions:

1. I suppose you are building with disabled JIT, as WebKit does not implement 
JIT for any PPC variant in official tree. This may introduce subtle differences 
in behavior, for example I once encountered layout test that was failing only 
when CSS JIT was disabled. You can try building without JIT on x86_64 and 
compare.

2. It might be miscompilation, as your platform may not be as thoroughly tested 
as more mainstream ones. You can try to build with -O0, -O1, -O2 (default is 
-O3). Alternatively, try building with different compiler (at least GCC and 
Clang support ppc64le and are fine for WebKit, xlC may not work though), or try 
different version of your compiler.

3. Note that webkit-qt list is more appropriate for issues specific for 
QtWebKit. Make sure you are using latest release (technology preview 5 at the 
moment [1])
