This will break powerpc64le builds, that currently can't build kboot.

So this line should probably be something like:

.if ${__T} != "powerpc64"

Another option is to create a kboot/ldscript.powerpcle file and adjust the Makefile to use it instead, when on powerpc64le.
The contents of this file would be almost identical to kboot/ldscript.powerpc, just replacing "powerpc" occurrences by "powerpcle".

I've tested this change and it produces a "working" kboot binary, which can be useful to experiment with on Petitboot, on POWER8/POWER9 machines, now that MK_LOADER_FORCE_LE is gone. This "working" binary is able to start and most of loader's commands work, but I was unable to load a kernel with it (segfaults when trying to list a partition).
