Every architecture is built automatically without human intervention, using
an automatic compile-time detection scheme.

If something is wrong on powerpc, it probably means that the built process
was somehow disturbed / confused / unusual.  Maybe it was as simple as the
lpr package not being available or some such.

Now, could you send me the actual entry for this?

As said above, this happens automatically.
