[7u] RFR(M): 8036767 : PPC64: Support for little endian execution model

[Alexander Smundak]

Sorry about that. The change in Defs-linux.gmk had to be bracketed by ppc64.
The new webrev for the jdk/ repository is in
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~asmundak/8036767.7u/jdk/webrev.01

I have built it for PowerPC64 little- and big-endian and for Linux/amd64.
I have never built OpenJDK for Windows and it would require some
amount of paperwork for me to do this at work. I can try it on my home
computer if you insist.
