emacs24 fails to build on ppc64el

[Matthias Klose]

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs24/24.5+1-7ubuntu1/+build/11038801

building with -O2, -fno-PIE, or building sequentially doesn't help, even with 12GB of RAM.

emacs25 seems fine

[Graham Inggs (ginggs)]

emacs24 (24.5+1-8ubuntu2) zesty; urgency=medium

  * d/p/0024-Emacs-should-no-longer-hang-when-loading-TRAMP.patch: Backport
    patch from the emacs-25 branch to turn off address randomisation on
    ppc64el, to fix build failure (& would-be failure loading some files at
    runtime too)
