!!! catalyst: Unknown build machine type ppc64le

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make ppc64le seed for catalyst
2. Compress seed as gentoo0912.tar.bz2
3. cp gentoo0912.tar.bz to /var/tmp/catalyst/builds/default
4. #catalyst -s 2015.09
4. write stage1ppc64le.spec
5  #catalyst -f stage1ppc64le.spec
Actual Results:
