ld: print branch fixups into the map file for ppc elf targets
In a safety context, it could interesting to track the trampolines being generated, ensuring there are expected or not. bfd/ChangeLog: * elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_relax_section): Log branch fixups. ld/ChangeLog: * ld.texi (--print-map): Add new item about fixups.
