It is breaking because the install.pl script is modifying the CFLAGS, etc for ppc64. I have a patch available which allows the CFLAGS, etc to be 64bit. This change enables it to compile. I do not know the reasons why the SRPMS are compiled 32bit on ppc64, so I do not know if this is the proper fix (or if we need to have the 32bit version of e2fsprogs-devel). Let me know which fix is preferred, and I'll make the necessary change and push it to Vlad.
