Local fix

• Don't define CMS_USE_BIG_ENDIAN for LinuxPPCLE(ppc64le)
  

Problem summary

• Some exceptions are thrown while running JCK awt tests on
  LinuxPPCLE machine
  

Problem conclusion

• Found that the macro CMS_USE_BIG_ENDIAN is defined on
  LinuxPPCLE, which results in Java program reads profile by using
  incorrect byte order. The program should use Little Indian
  instead of Big Indian byte order on LinuxPPCLE machine.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     8    SR1       (8.0.1.0)
  .
