    [PowerPC] Support powerpc64le as a syntax-checking target. · 0a9170d9
    Bill Schmidt authored
    This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
    However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
    code.  Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
    built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
    __LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
    syntax-only testing.  Code generation will otherwise be the same as
    powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
    
    The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
    PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
    thing.
    
    The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
    that ppc64 coverage currently exists.  There is nothing of any import
    worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
    implemented.  In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
    case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
    code are generated.
