[X2Go-User] Pb with x2go agent on ppc64 system

[sebastien chabrolles]

The problem is that this switch to little Endian is available on Power8 only and it is dependent to the Linux distro. Because it is new, most of the Linux distro are BigEndian today. (This could change in the future). 

Only Ubuntu move to ppc64le. 

So we can't easily switch to LE with fedora are redhat today.
