Several of the 'toolsets' that I need are not building cleanly on those arches. The aarch64 are ppc64le builds are building ok, but still being tested before release. I was also trying to do all 7 architectures for both of these. Moving forward,it seems that the only ones we can reliably build are x86_64, i686, aarch64 and ppc64le for CentOS Linux 7.
