Hi Alan,

aclocal -> automake -> libtoolize -> autoconf -> configure -> Makefile

 During this work flow, we've patched libtool.m4 as below which is make sure
generate correct Makefile and passed correct $LD="ld -m elf64lppc' to
powerpc64le-linux-ld

   So I must make sure that all packages with -melf64ppc was updated by
elibtoolize or eautoreconf. Then we'll enable big-endian targets on gentoo
ppc64le.
