RFR(S): 8067330 : ZERO_ARCHDEF incorrectly defined for PPC/PPC64 architectures

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Severin,

the change looks good to me and it only affects the ZERO build so
there's no risk to influene any other platform.

Unfortunately I can not push it because it requires the regeneration
of 'common/autoconf/generated-configure.sh'. So you still need a
sponsor from within Oracle.

Regards,
Volker
