Description Justin Hibbits freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-03 16:39:22 UTC 
texlive-base by default builds luajit, which doesn't currently support powerpc64.  Adding --disable-luajit to the configure args should fix this (conditional on the architecture).

I'm wrong on this (was going by comments made on RedHat's bugzilla regarding this), simply adding --disable-luajit doesn't cause it to not build luajit.
Comment 3 Justin Hibbits freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-09-22 19:43:58 UTC 
The correct argument to pass is '--disable-luajittex'.  It passes a build in poudriere by adding that argument to CONFIGURE_ARGS.

This appears to have fixed the problem. Adding --disable-luajittex to the MakeFile allowed it to finish building via source.

I did do a portsnap fetch update 10 minutes before going here to see if there was a known problem. So it appears that the fix has not made its way down the line to FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE (r260789) on generic PPC64.

I also had to add:
"MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes.
