With this change, I built and ran ack on a big-endian PowerPC Linux
machine. I used gcc 4.9.4 to build ack, and I only built the linuxppc
back end.
Before this change, wr_ranlib() corrupted a value by changing it from
0x66 to 0x66000066. This value was too big, so led made a fatal
error, "bad ranlib string offset".
the number of types of relocation possible in the object file. (Now,
hopefully, working.)
Also change the object serialiser/deserialiser to never try to read or
write raw structures; it's way safer this way and we don't need the
performance boost any more.
