[Python-modules-team] Bug#833174: jpy: FTBFS on ppc64el: Error: Cannot find any JVM shared library

[Fernando Seiti Furusato]

Source: jpy
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The package jpy fails to build from source on ppc64el, because of
discrepancies between the identifier for ppc64el architecture.

OpenJDK currently uses ppc64le on the arch directory, while jpy uses
`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU` to get the arch string.
It returns 'ppc64el' and the search never finds the shared objects
needed to finish the build.

The patch attached works around that and changes 'ppc64el' to 'ppc64le'
during the build.

Thanks and regards.

Fernando
