ppc64le is its own arch treat it as such.

ppc64le is ppc64 little endian, it is a completely incompatable arch to all other 64 bit power builds and can not be multilibbed with ppc. While it works okay in the default Fedora setup its because Fedora patches _ppc64_native_is_best to True as soon as its False you get unexpected results. This patch covers things in both setups and makes it clear how it works. Signed-off-by: Dennis Gilmore <[email protected]>
