The ppc64 port uses gcc-4.0 as its default compiler. Consequently 
packages like nbio are compiled with gcj-4.0 and libgcj6-dev.

There is no gcc-3.3, gcj-3.3 or libgcj4-dev on ppc64.

With this change, this is no longer a problem because gcc-defaults
takes care of providing the correct versions.

Moreover, switching to a newer version of gcc will be possible
without changing the Build-Depends.
