please move the vsx code after the big endian test instead of
duplicating the test
also some compilers like clang can build for both big and little
endian so mcpu might theoretically be needed to be set before testing
for big endian

i dont think this works
failure of the check_cflags wont disable vsx unless i miss something

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
