Libreoffice for PowerPC64

I've successfully built Libreoffice-4.3.7 on FreeBSD 10.2/PowerPC64, that has menu icons, toolbars and graphics. With the exception of the Base application, everything seems to be working correctly.

To get it to build, I had to take the "hatchet" approach, due to a flaw in the big/little endian logic used in the code. I removed tests for endianess and "little endian" specific code in most modules. Leaving the "big endian" specific code as the default. I believe the issue with the Base application is due to "hatchet" that was taken to the code to get a build with working menu icons, toolbars and graphics.

I still working to find and correct the logic flaw and develop patches against the code base.

Anyone interested?
