bug#57134: powerpc64le: gst-plugins-good build link error on aalib (libgstaasink.so)

[Marcel van der Boom]

Building gst-plugins-good on powerpc64le (Talos II machine) 
produces a link error related to aalib.

Commenting out the 'aalib' input makes the build succeed.

Relevant snippet from the build log below.

bug#57134: [PATCH] FIX: Skip `aalib' input on target ppc64le

[Marcel van der Boom]

	* gstreamer.scm (gst-plugins-good):
	skip aalib input on ppc64le

Linker errors out for unknown reasons. The ascii art is imho not important
enough to skip the whole package from being included for ppc64le.

I think to get these Debbugs control commands to work, you need to CC
control@debbugs.gnu.org and have the commands appear at the top of the
email body :-).

Otherwise, you can also reply to 57134-done@debbugs.gnu.org as a
shortcut.
