[Bug 1384784] [NEW] Bad value ppc64le for CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR on IBM power. Must be ppc64

[Silvestre daniele]

Public bug reported:

With Trusty, cmake --system-information reports 
CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR "ppc64le"
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR "ppc64le"
JAVA_JVM_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-ppc64el/jre/lib/ppc64le/server/libjvm.so

These CMAKE variable are badly set on cmake version 2.8.12.2 within Ubuntu 14.04
(cmake -version command returns cmake version 2.8.12.2)

I read this Internet page showing a cmake commit in July  2014
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake-commits/2014-July/019899.html

It looks like that  the commit was done only for cmake version 3.0.0 and later
but it is requested in the current version of cmake for PowerPC platforms

Hereafter details about cmake commit

    FindJNI: search for ppc64 on ppc64le as well
    
    IcedTea 2.5 have changed libarch for ppc64le to ppc64. Adjust FindJNI
    to look for both for backward compatibility.

Bug found testing Hadoop Accumulo package which uses derivated JAVA_JVM_LIBRARY variable
and can't find  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-ppc64el/jre/lib/ppc64/server/libjvm.so
