I stepped back from my unified power64 koji master plan and went back to using mock configs and shell for loops. I am still using a Fedora 22 ppc64 host but now have a mock config that bootstraps against a local Fedora 19 ppc64/ppc repository. I have built half of the 2500 CentOS 7 x86_64 source rpms. Toolchain (binutils/gcc/glibc) and build group packages are solid. kernel-3.10.0-229.el7.ppc64.rpm finished this morning.

I will continue marching through the other 1200 source rpms and also build a bootable c7-ppc64 test image. After the majority of the 2500 ppc64 rpms are built, I will rebuild them in a second phase without the Fedora 19 backing repository.
