I don't think there is any ppc64 specific. I'd like to understand the issue
first, and a reproducer with a single test case would be much appreciated.

Of course, this could be a miscompilation of python2.7 on ppc64el, but that is a
wild guess, given that the python testsuite for this build doesn't show any errors.
