I'm not surprised.  You're probably the first person on the planet to
try ruby-ffi on either ppc-linux or ppc64-linux.

You have two choices:
1) Cut your losses and declare the package usable for i386 and x86_64
only.  This is probably the easiest path, and given how obsolete ppc
machines are, probably not a huge loss.

2) Learn enough details about the ppc32 and ppc64 abi, and debug
ruby-ffi.  It will probably turn out to be something simple, but it
could take a lot of tears and pain to track down.  The upside is that
this will help knock out any bugs for other arches like arm.

Naturally, I advocate option #1.
