curl fails to build from source for powerpc. Its include/curl/system.h
tries to detect lots of platforms but falls short on powerpc. It
attempts to detect it by checking __ppc__, but that's not defined on
Linux. One should be checking __powerpc__ in addition. See
http://nadeausoftware.com/articles/2012/02/c_c_tip_how_detect_processor_type_using_compiler_predefined_macros
for details. The attached patch adds that macro and thus makes the build
continue. Please consider applying it.
