OK, somehow, I got the impression that it would be wrong to change the
value of $machine (I thought it was intentionally set to the triplet and
shouldn't be changed), but I changed my mind after your comments.
Besides that, I had mentioned that ".../powerpc64" would be implicitly
implied, as if it was something undesired, but that should be OK since
files that are specific to big-endian or little-endian can be moved to
their subdirectories (powerpc64/be and powerpc64/le).
With that in mind, I implemented Andreas suggestion (be/ and le/ subdirs)
and I'm sending it in a new thread.
