```
std.Target: Use ppc64 as the generic CPU model for powerpc64le.

ppc64le remains the baseline CPU model. Note that there's nothing about little
endian, 64-bit PowerPC that requires the features in the ppc64le model; the
reason it exists is that 64-bit PowerPC wasn't really used in little endian mode
prior to those features being commonplace. That makes the ppc64le model a good
baseline model, but not the right choice for a generic model.
