[CMake] cmake 3.1- ubuntu 14.10 - IBM Power 8 - xl

[Jamil Appa]

Hi

    I am trying to use the IBM xl compilers with cmake 3.1 on a little
endian Power 8

    The find_library function fails as the architecture is not recognised.
If I manually set the architecture
using -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu cmake works
correctly.

     The IBM xl compiler is identified as Clang 3.4.2 as it uses the clang
front end.

    I happy to provide a patch if this has not been fixed yet but I will
need some guidance on which files need fixing.

  Thanks

 Jamil
