We looked into this a bit today, and it appears to be a shortfall in
mock, or rpm(build) that is triggered by koji.  When koji builds
something for noarch, it explicitly passes --target noarch.  This
overwrites some settings in mock for the rpmbuild arch and in the ppc64
case, rpm defaults to ppc, and libdir is wrong.  If koji didn't pass
--target, then the default arch for the config would be used and all is
happy.  We're not entirely certain where the real bug lies, but we have
a couple possible work arounds, and we'll be discussing with rpm folks
tomorrow.
