[PATCH 1/1] libunwind: mark as incomatible with powerpc

[Chen Qi]

The libunwind has a README file listing supported archs,
powerpc is never declared as supported, thus marking
it as incompatible.

Builds and works on Debian without any major issues reported,
not listing it at all in this table (but ppc32 is listed in
the next table in README) looks more like an oversight to me.
