Dear Maintainer,

The package freefem3d fails to build from source on ppc64el.
The compilation breaks due to the usage of keywords that conflict with gcc macros
(vector and bool).
Unsetting __vector fixes that, so I added it as a workaround for ppc64el only, in debian/rules.
I also added the usage of dh-autoreconf, which is recommended.

Thanks.

Fernando
