PowerPC64 --plt-align
Alignment of plt stubs was broken, firstly because the option was being dropped due to the alignment value not being set in the "params" struct used in elf64-ppc.c, and secondly due to not calculating the number of alignment boundary crossings correctly. bfd/ * elf64-ppc.c (plt_stub_pad): Correct. ld/ * ld.texinfo: Correct --plt-align documentation. * emultempl/ppc64elf.em (plt_stub_align): Delete. Use and set params.plt_stub_align instead.
