Firebird on Power8 Ubuntu/Debian Linux

Firebird can be installed on both Little Endian (ppc64el) and Big Endian(ppc64) versions of Power8 Linux Operating Systems

There was a recent bug in detection of ppc64el (was mis-detected as powerpc64) but now is fixed in Debian

Also if you use other distros on power8 please verify if Firebird platform is detected correctly.
