gdb-7.7-add-ppc64le.patch

ppc64le support for gdb went into upstream version 7.8.  But for now, I have a patch and trivial spec changes to enable ppc64le in gdb-7.7.  Please incorporate these into rawhide and nvr bump then.  If you prefer to conditionally apply the patch for the ppc64le arch only, I am ok with that too.

The following spec changes are needed.  Change as you prefer.  Ill attach the gdb-7.7-add-ppc64le.patch file.
