bug#48055: Statically-linked packages fail to build on powerpc64le-linux

[Ludovic Courtès]

As of current master (d904abe0768293b2322dbf355b6e41d94e769d78),
statically-linked packages required by ‘bootstrap-tarballs’ fail to
build on powerpc64le-linux.  For example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gcc -Wall -Winline -O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c bzip2.c
gcc -Wall -Winline -O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c bzip2recover.c
ar cq libbz2.a blocksort.o huffman.o crctable.o randtable.o compress.o 
decompress.o bzlib.o
gcc -Wall -Winline -O2 -g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -static -o bzip2recover 
bzip2recover.o
