You may try the mailing list

libdvdnav-devel at videolan.org

and also the Git tree at

git://git.videolan.org/libdvdread

which has a much less crazy build system.  Probably it will work out of 
the box if your local libtool version is new enough to support ppc64le. 
  At least I don't see a reason why it should not.
