This is an ABI-breaking change and thus not appropriate. Anyway, the
intent is not to be consistent with other archs but too be consistent
with existing naming practice for the particular arch, where
powerpc64le, not powerpc64el, is what's used.

BTW if it were being changed, the subarch logic in configure would
also need to be changed to match.
