[Spice-devel] [PATCH v2 6/6] build-sys: Replace cpu detection error with warning

[Christophe Fergeau]

configure.ac currently errors out when trying to build on
non-x86/non-ARM CPUs. Since the previous commits improved
big endian support a lot, this commit replaces the error
with a warning at configure time to make testing on big
endian platforms easier.
