Backport upstream commit 9711b8aa5acc to fix compilation errors on ppc64le
architecture. The issue occurs because GCC on ppc64le does not recognize the
'-march=native' option and suggests using '-mcpu=native' instead.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix the -march issue for ppc64le
+
+Similar to the fix in aab4e9b10ac, need to also support the ppc64le
+architecture.
+
+The failure without this fix on a ppc64le machine:
+
+| cp util.c util-makeguids.c
+| gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-march=native'; did you mean '-mcpu=native'?
