Fix ELF ABI and endianness checks for powerpc64

Earlier, it was assumed that ELF ABI v2 is used only on
little-endian powerpc64 environments but it seems this
ABI can be used independently of endianness.

It is expected that any C preprocessor that conforms to
the ELF ABI v2 specification must predefine the _CALL_ELF
macro and set its value to 2.

Instead of looking at __BYTE_ORDER__ to determine whether
to use the Local Entry Point (LEP) of symbols, one should
look at the _CALL_ELF macro instead as this is ABI-related.

Similarly, _CALL_ELF should be used only for determining
the ABI version and not the endianness.
