base/binutils build on 32-bit powerpc fails for not finding elf64_fbsd.* ldscripts

[Mark Millard]

In a 32-bit powerpc environment (head -r356066 or so, clang based), I
attempted to "make package" (not a cross build) for
/usr/ports/base/binutils ( as of ports -r520539 ) and the end result
was failures to find 64-bit ldscripts:

*** Error code 1

For reference, the attempt built (or for binutils tried to):

# ls -ldT /wrkdirs/usr/ports/*/*

(I already had pkg 1.12.0 added.)
