Subject: [PATCH 0/2] CodeSamples: Fixes for ppc64

Hi Paul,

With the help of you, I now have an access to a ppc64 instance on
OSU Open Source Lab.

I tried to build under CodeSamples/ there.
But I needed to fix dependency rules I updated recently.
Also, script for ppc64 in Makefile failed to copy
api-pthreads/api-gcc.h to api.h.
Patch 1 fixes them.

Patch 2 removes GCC flags specific to POWER5, and update links
to pages with regard to optimization for POWER.

And there are a few things I want to confirm regarding CodeSamples.

(1) Is libucru a must now?

If it is the case, we should remove "else" blocks in Makefile
which copu linux/list.h to api.h.

(2) Is little endian assuemed?

You suggested to choose ppc64le for the instance on OSU Open Source Lab.
Is there any code that doesn't work on big-endian platform?

(3) Can we remove gprof-helper.c?

Although I fixed the entry in .gitignore the other day, gprof-helper.c
lives in the repository from the beginning. Can we get rid of it?

            Thanks, Akira
