Bug description
A team at IBM would like to have the OCaml native-code compiler support the POWER8 architecture under Linux, both in little-endian and in big-endian modes. RedHat has a fork of OCaml that provides this support. The purpose of this PR is to track progress towards support in mainline OCaml.
Additional information
POWER8 / Linux in little-endian mode (ppc64le) is 64 bits, little-endian, ELF PPC64 ABI v2.
POWER8 / Linux in big-endian mode (ppc64) is 64 bits, big-endian, ELF PPC64 ABI v1.

Did some more testing on ppc64le with OPAM, Coq, and some OPAM packages. I'm reasonably confident in the new POWER back-end. Marking this PR as resolved.
