The following is the your problem:
%ifarch ppc x86_64
ASM_X86=0
%else
ASM_X86=1
%endif
You forgot to mention ppc64 in that list and ppc64 can just not handle
intel assembler just like ppc.
I don't have much experience with this sort of
thing. Is x86_64 not able
to do x86 assembler ?
Given this was a package import that I didn't create the gcube.spec
initially, should the "ifarch ppc x86_64" have been "ppc ppc64" ?
You can also see it in the compiler command line from ppc64 build.
It
contains "-DASM_X86".
Thanks, Adrian.
