pkg/build: Add ppc64le Linux as a supported configuration

Enable the Linux builder for ppc64le.

For ppc64le, we use zImage rather than bzImage as our kernel target. Pass
through the target architecture to buildKernel() so we can pick the right
target based on arch.

Closes: #1084 ("pkg/build: Support building Linux on ppc64le")
