The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64le.  This
Huh? ppc64le or ppc64el?
ppc64el.  Commit message is wrong.  Fixed below.

What about ppc64?

Also, I sent that already a month ago. Both linuxppc-dev and Michal
Marek were on cc.

Anyone using powerpc (32-bit) will then need to add ppc64 as a foreign
architecture before they can install a 64-bit custom kernel.  This is
fine in principle, except that ppc64 is not an official Debian port and
its packages are not mirrored on the same servers.

So I think Michael's version, leaving big-endian kernels as powerpc by
default, is preferable for now.
I applied v2 of Michael's patch to kbuild.git#misc.
