The upstream maintainers are aware of this.

Build logs available at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=883792 The packages will appear in worldwide mirrors over the following days. I'll repack for RHEL in a day or so. There is an issue with the RHEL5 ppc64 kernel, which makes jemalloc fail on Red Hat's build servers. Below follows an excerpt from README.redhat. Ingvar Running with jemalloc on ppc or ppc64 on fedora: Edit and recompile =================================================================== To get a package through to Fedora, it has to build in Red Hat's Koji build environment. Their ppc and ppc64 builders run mock on a RHEL ppc64 kernel. Our use of jemalloc does not work on this kernel, and the build stays unsuccessful. As ppc64 is not the primary target of varnish development, it may take some time to get this bug fixed. To get the package through to Fedora, jemalloc is disabled in the ppc and ppc64 builds. Now, varnish with jemalloc enabled is known to work at least on the ppc (32bit) kernel in Fedora 9. If you run on ppc, and have a workload that suits jemalloc better, you might want to change the specfile and recompile. We would very much like feedback from anyone running varnish on Fedora's own ppc64 kernel.
