PR 19264 looping in ppc64_elf_size_stubs
b399102 fixed the testcase in this PR but it may be possible to trigger the problem in other ways. PR ld/19264 * elf64-ppc.c (STUB_SHRINK_ITER): Define. (ppc64_elf_size_stubs): Exit stub sizing loop past STUB_SHRINK_ITER if shrinking stubs. (ppc64_elf_size_stubs): Adjust to suit.
