[FFADO-devel] ppc64 flags patch

[Orcan O. <oge...@gm...>]

Hi again,

After managing to build ffado using scons3 using a number of
workarounds, I submitted a build to the Fedora servers. The build logs
tell me that in the ppc64 and ppc64le architectures, -m32 flags are
being used and binaries were getting compiled 32bit.

The ppc64le is basically the ppc64 architecture operating in little
endian mode (to port x86 applications easier). I needed to add another
check for this in CpuInfo().
The build machines are power8 and they failed the
   '970' in self.ppc_type
test. I had to extend this test to allow power8.

After the above fixes, I was finally able to build ffado on Fedora
across all supported architectures with the desired bitness. Note that
I don't have a way of testing the builds on a ppc64* device.

I am attaching this patch. Hopefully this is the last one until your
new release.

Best,
Orcan
