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

[Neo]

Hi All,
      I am cross compiling MySQL Connector/C for Linux/PowerPC architecture.
When I run cmake I get the below errors and build process stops.

Command:
Step 1: Setup my toolchain for PowerPC
Step 2: Cmake

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

Basically there are two errors

1. Detecting C compiler ABI info: I checked online for solving this error but
couldn't solve it.
2. Testing Big Endian: Again I checked online and one person who had the similar
problem prevented endianess check which resolved his build issue. I too tried
it. I commented the endianess check in CMakePlatformTests.txt, but my build
still failed because of the first issue. Below is the log.

PS: The same command is run
