Inconsistent .eh_frame_hdr on powerpc64
There is code in bfd/elf-eh-frame.c and ld/emultempl/elf32.em that checks for the presence of eh_frame info by testing for a section named .eh_frame sized more than 8 bytes. The size test is to exclude a zero terminator. A similar check in elf64-ppc.c wrongly just tested for non-zero size before creating the linker generated .eh_frame describing plt call and other linkage stubs. The intention was to not generate that info unless there was some user .eh_frame. (No user .eh_frame implies the user doesn't care about exception handling.) Because the test in elf64-ppc.c was wrong, ld generated the stub .eh_frame just on finding a zero .eh_frame terminator in crtend.o, but didn't generate the corresponding .eh_frame_hdr. * elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_size_stubs): Correct test for user .eh_frame info.
