No need for a separate case here, just extend the comment in the default below.

Please don't mix up the architecture and the endianess, we have separate
#defines for the latter: V8_TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN and V8_TARGET_LITTLE_ENDIAN, these
should be orthogonal to V8_TARGET_ARCH_PPC{,64}.

Huh? How is this related to the *architecture*? Do we have a POSIX platform
without sched_yield? Sounds a bit strange...

   int result = sched_yield();
   DCHECK_EQ(0, result);
