I ran the patch on powerpc64-linux (ie, Big Endian) both with and
without --enable-default-pie.  Both bootstraps completed with no
errors and the without --enable-default-pie regtested without any
regressions.

The --enable-default-pie regtesting shows massive failures that I
have to look into.  I'm haven't determined yet whether these are
all -m32 FAILs or -m64 FAILS or both.  I'll report back with more
info after I dig into some of the failures.
