[CMake] Cross Compile MySQL Connector/C for Linux/PowerPC architecture using CMake - Failure

[Niranjan M]

Hi All,
        I am trying to cross compile MySql Connector/C for Linux/PowerPC
architecture and I am getting the below error.

PS: CMAKE Version used is 2.8.7

Command:
Step 1: Setup my tool chain for PowerPC
Step 2: Cmake command

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/NewDataBaseStuff/mysqlclient_c/lib
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="ppc_4xx-gcc" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="ppc_4xx-g++"
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-c -g -static -I. -I/opt/ELDK/4.2/ppc_4xx/usr/include/"
--debug-trycompile

So I have 2 problems:

1. Failure in detecting Compiler ABI information
2. Failing in Big Endianess test: I checked couple of posts online and
tried to suppress the endianess check by modifying CMakePlatformTests.txt,
but the build process still failed. Below is the log:
