Subjectv3.18-rc5 build failure on ppc64 in Documentation/mic/mpssd/mpssd.o
One or more in the following commit set in the 3.18 merge window is causing
build failure on ppc64 with the default config:

7b345771ba921361b318e95bf21b257c65ac141c Documentation: update include path for mpssd
8c2b0dc83d9840da4d993a5dbb15c5974ad5a188 Documentation: support glibc versions without htole macros
6ab0e475f1f38b6be90aff4ef3ebf928c4a73dc8 Documentation: fix misc. warnings
adb19fb66eeebac07fe37d968725bb8906dadb8e Documentation: add makefiles for more targets

Building v3.18-rc5 and I have glibc 2.17.

The problem is that for big endian, the htole* macros are not simple compile
time transforms by the precompiler, but rather block code that must be executed
in function context.

Build errors:

Reverting the commits fixes the issue, however, a more targeted approach could
just skip make on Documentation/mic/mpssd/ until the endianness issue is
resolved. Or something else...

Thanks,
Seth
