ppc64le is exclusively little endian and 64-bit, thus there is no need
for COMPAT_32BIT_TIME, nor COMPAT.

To be pedantic, the ppc64le kernel does support running 32-bit little
endian userspace in compat mode (CONFIG_COMPAT=y). It's a distro choice
as to whether you support COMPAT. Notably there are two other major
distros that don't support COMPAT for ppc64le, and the set of 32-bit LE
software is effectively empty.

I have seen software that does not work when compiled 64bit so it would
build 32bit binary even on ppc64le and abuse the compat layer to run.

It quite rare, though.

Thank you! And yes, do not want =)
