The next step would be to compare these values with the ones you get on amd64. 
But before that, could you please run the base tests on ppc64? Maybe you get 
already a failing test there and this would just explain the behaviour. We 
always should start looking for an issue from ground up. If base is already 
broken there is no use in trying to pin it down in gui.

Hope this helps,
