Note: Since it's not happening on 10.2, I don't really expect it to be fixed, but I need it filed so that we could disable the test in buildbot. For 10.2, issues are a bit different and described in MDEV-14384.

I cannot meaningfully summarize what works where and how, here is the empirical status of trusty-ppc64le and jessie-ppc64le as of Nov 18, 2017:
Summary for trusty-ppc64le

Note the line mariadb-server + mariadb-test which is especially strange – separately mariadb-server and mariadb-test are installable on 10.0 / 10.1, but together they are not.
