You should be able to compile from the latest source on ppc64, since I
spent some time a few weeks ago getting it to work:

Start with git (not 1.22), read the README file, and let us know on
the mailing list what precise errors you get when you try to compile it.
Note you'll require the latest supermin (from git) first, and qemu
from git, and IIRC there was an endianness bug in hivex too which is
fixed in git. The latest hivex isn't required unless you're doing
Widows guest inspection.

New subject: libguestfs powerpc package
I have successfully compiled on G4 powerpc libguestfs ( last stable version
1.26.0 ) and supermin 5.1.7 but
supermin doesn't recognise a suitable kernel ( vmlinuz*) to build the
appliance, looking on the kernel.ml code (language that I never have seen)
I have see that it check only i386 and arm architecture, in any case look
like it search a vmlinuz* with host_cpu, in case of powerpc look like it
search vmlinuz*powerpc*
In my /boot I have only 2 kernel with powerpc inside (
vmlinux-3.11.0-6-powerpc-smp) and the 3.13.9 with out (vmlinux-3.13.9kvmth)
and with vmliux not vmlinu
*z*
*I have tried to make symlink of my vmlinux with vmlinuz*powerpc* but the
error is the same:*supermin -v -v -v --build --format ext2 supermin.d -o
appliance.d
supermin: failed to find a suitable kernel.
I looked for kernels in /boot and modules in /lib/modules.
My impression is that supermin5 doesn't work properly building aplliance
with powerpc architecture.
Thanks for your time

I agree. It looks like supermin 5 needs additional code to work on
powerpc (32 bit) because of the unusual kernel name. (It should still
work fine if you set SUPERMIN_KERNEL).
I have got it working successfully on ppc64 on Fedora where the kernel
is called /boot/vmlinuz*.ppc64
You could file all the details in a bug report here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?component=supermin&product=...
I particularly need to know:
- The exact contents of /boot
- The exact host_cpu string

Dear Rich,
Now I'm testing qemu 2.0 on G4 , now with the last libguestfs it could
successfully work with powerpc 32 bit ( G4) ?
Thanks

It should do, but you can report bugs on this mailing list if you
find any.
