[Pkg-hhvm-team] Bug#824573: hhvm: Enable hhvm to be built on ppc64el

[Breno Leitao]

Package: hhvm
Version: 3.12.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

HHVM is being ported to ppc64el arch[1], and at the moment, 100% of the 1041
test runs fine on the platform.

HHVM, as current version 3.12, is able to run in interpreted mode (JIT
disabled)[2], so, I think we should go ahead and enable it to be built on ppc64el.
I will working to have it enabled completely in the ppc64el platform.

The following patch just enable the built on ppc64el.
