Thanks. Then a simple configure check with AC_MSG_ERROR([little-endian
powerpc32 not supported]) will be a good idea to detect any attempts to
build such a configuration at as early a build stage as possible, and to
make clear there isn't any supported ABI for that combination (so that if
support for it were added in future it might have different symbol
versions, for example).
