Unfortunately it's a bit messier than that.

The build error occurs when the compiler is built to use a 64-bit long
double type.

The ppc64le ABI document says that long double should be 128-bits, but
there are ppc64le compilers out there that are configured to use 64-bit
long double, notably the kernel.org crosstool compilers.

So just testing for CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN means we'll still get build errors
on those compilers.

But I think we can detect the long double size and key off that. Can you
test the patch below works for you?

cheers
