Created attachment 121611 [details] gzip-1.3.11.log
app-arch/gzip-1.3.5-r10 seems to be unaffected, every other version fails as shown in the attached log.
most likely a dupe of Bug 180764
(In reply to comment #3) > most likely a dupe of Bug 180764 Nah, more likely a bug w/ PIE and glibc-2.3.6 on ppc64 ;(
upgrade your glibc
