Getting "objcopy: unsupported e_type" after buildworld

[Julio Merino]

I think I've found the problem. And... wow. The compiler that ships with
12.1-RELEASE seems to think it's targeting a little-endian powerpc64
machine... and then libelf gets built the wrong way and mayhem ensues.

I've filed https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252720 with
the details.
