[GOLD] PowerPC function address in non-PIC
ppc32, like many targets, defines the address of a function as the PLT call stub code for functions referenced but not defined in a non-PIC executable. ppc32 gold, unlike other targets, inherits the ppc64 multiple stub capability for dealing with very large binaries where one set of stubs can't be reached from all code locations. This means there can be multiple choices of address for a function, which might cause function pointer comparison failures. So for ppc32, make non-branch references always use the first stub group. (PowerPC64 ELFv1 is always PIC so doesn't need to define the address of an external function as the PLT stub. PowerPC64 ELFv2 needs a special set of global entry stubs to serve as the address of external functions, so it too is not affected by this bug.) * powerpc.cc (Target_powerpc::Branch_info::make_stub): Put stubs for ppc32 non-branch relocs in first stub table. (Target_powerpc::Relocate::relocate): Resolve similarly.
