Bug#743622: libnspr4-dev: support for ppc64el

[Erwan Prioul]

Package: libnspr4-dev
Version: 2:4.10.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I've noticed some defines aren't well set for powerpc64le (aka ppc64el) 
in linux config file (include/md/_linux.cfg).
There is an assumption that powerpc64 is big endian, so defines are set 
in this way (for example IS_BIG_ENDIAN is defined). This assumption 
could lead to compiling error on ppc64el arch which is powperpc64 and 
little endian.
To prevent errors, I've added a test to check for powerpc64 to verify 
the endianness (little or big).

Hope it helps.
