Are you sure that is the cause? I'm using the same autoreconf-ing system as
is used in gcc-4.8 (from rules.patch in the gcc source), and powerpc64le is
catered for in the resulting files:

which suggests something other than missing powerpc64le support in the
various autotools files.
Is there any chance I could get access to a powerpc64le machine to
investigate this further?
