Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?

Noted the long-standing FTBFS of Mesa on ppc64, attempted to sbuild locally which produced the same result.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

Performed an sbuild on an Apple G5 which failed in the same manner as the buildd.
Disabled nouveau in debian/control and the build was successful.
Will attach a patch to this bug report.

Hi Sean,

There was some work upstream to fix big-endian on r300 and nouveau [1].
