patch
FreeBSD has recently added support for powerpc64le architecture (ppc64le using
Linux naming). FreeBSD and GCC both had previously supported powerpc64 (ppc64
using Linux naming) so this patch is pretty simple, it only adds endianness
detection using similar code that Linux code uses.
While here, also clear the issue of default tuning. People that still use
32-bit POWER are likely on G4, so tune for that. On 64-bits, tune for POWER8
(similarly to Linux). Also remove the obsolete comment that FreeBSD doesn't
support anything newer than PPC970 - it works nice on my POWER9 workstation.
