The package xdelta fails to build on ppc64el, as on new architectures, because
the config.{guess,sub} files are out of date, and are not updated during the
build.

This is the error log:

dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp --list-missing
dh_install: libxdelta2 missing files (usr/lib/*.so.*), aborting
make: *** [install] Error 255
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I just created a patch that enables it to be built on ppc64el. I am using the
following URL as reference:
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS#A2014-01-21_using_dh-autoreconf_during_the_build

Thank you,
Breno
