 There are two problems and the first have a proposed patch. It seems
to be working, but the 'testMergeFrom' Python 3 check seem to still
fail sometimes, sometimes working at least on armel. I'll post more as
I know more details.

May you have a local ppc64el machine? What happens if you try the
build say three - four times?

Thanks,
