According to bug #1511347, the systemtap version in trusty is not usable on ppc64el. We should not add the package to the architecture if we don't know that it works. Marking this SRU verification-failed.

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * Now that systemtap-sdt-dev is arch:all, it also needs to be
    Multi-Arch:foreign to unbreak cross-builds (otherwise M-A:same ->
    A:all dep, tries to pull A:any).
