Current acceptance test will not run properly in powerpc
environment due qemu target is different from arch, this
usually matches, except with bi-endian architectures like ppc64.
uname would return `ppc64` or `ppc64le` based `big` or `little`
endian but qemu `target` is always `ppc64`. Let's handle it.

I sent a similar patch a little while back, but it seems it got lost.

Yes, I remember that.  I have the feeling the discussion evolved into
"let's do it for all other arch differences", because I found a patch
here about that.  Anyway, sorry about that.

I've queued this one.
