[Buildroot] buildroot support for OrangePI PC

[Eelco Chaudron <echaudron@xiot.nl>]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for pointing this out...

I wanted to do some bench marking in big endian to see performance 
difference in a heavy networking environment.
However when I saw the endian errors I "thought" I reverted back, and 
retried. But for some reason make savedefconfig, did not reflect the 
change, and I did not pay attention to the output :(

Doing a make distclean, and reconfigure, it worked fine without any 
build errors.
