["Steven A. Falco" <stevenfalco@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have enabled compilation for PPC64LE, because that was requested by a Fedora user.  KiCAD builds fine for 5.1, but the PPC64 compilation is broken on master.

The attached patch fixes that by reverting a small portion of commit 6cab769f41f.  Basically, on a 64-bit PPC machine, gcc defines both _ARCH_PPC and _ARCH_PPC64, thus commit 6cab769f41f resulted in trying to compile 32-bit PPC assembly code on PPC64.  Also, assuming the assembly worked, we would have wound up with multiple copies of the context code.

Subject: [PATCH] Revert part of commit 6cab769f41f

Commit 6cab769f41f breaks compilation on ppc64le, because the gcc
compiler defines both _ARCH_PPC and _ARCH_PPC64.
