it doesn't it's because qemu isn't available or cannot boot the
kernel.
Nevertheless we've had some success on arm. For arm you will need to
specify the exact machine type and CPU variant that is required to
boot the Linux kernel (there's no way to know this except by looking
at how the Linux kernel was configured). For example:

PCI-based architecture, whatever architecture qemu emulates must
support PCI also.
For PPC64 you will need to specify the IBM pSeries machine type:

After building libguestfs, run 'make quickcheck' and pay close
attention to the qemu command line.
