gcc added intrinsics for atomic operations sometime in the 4.x series 
(4.4.x certainly has them), which jemalloc tries to use, so chances are 
that you are using a newer compiler on the ppc64 system than on the 
32-bit system.  I added native implementations for x86/x64 systems, but 
haven't had the time to do so for PowerPC (plus I don't have ppc 
hardware anymore).

Thanks,
