Heads-up re: ppc64le support in crash-7.0.8

Petr, Michel, et al,

I'm currently working on adding ppc64le support for the next upstream
crash release.  I'm working from a Fedora bugzilla filed by Michel Normand,
where he that applied the "crash-gdb-7.6.series" set of patches from the openSUSE 
distribution.  Thanks Michel for doing the initial legwork using the Fedora
tree.

For the upstream crash utility repo, I do not want to carry the set of 9 patches
individually, but similar to the singular gdb-7.6.patch, I plan to concatenate
them into a singular gdb-7.6-ppc64le-support.patch.

Ideally the contents of the 9 patch files could be added to the gdb-7.6.patch,
and I may do that in the future.

However, just the crash-gdb-7.6-bound_minimal_symbol.patch in the 9-part set
is so large and intrusive (touching dozens of arch-neutral files) that
I am paranoid about breaking something, or altering behavior for the
other architectures.  So I plan to take a more cautious route for now,
and only apply the gdb-7.6-ppc64le-support.patch if the build host is
ppc64le.

Thanks,
  Dave
