powerpc64le: blacklist broken GCC compilers (e.g GCC 7.5.0)

GCC 7.5.0 (PR94200) will refuse to compile if both -mabi=% and
-mlong-double-128 are passed on the command line.  Surprisingly,
it will work happily if the latter is not.  For the sake of
maintaining status quo, test for and blacklist such compilers.

Tested with a GCC 8.3.1 and GCC 7.5.0 compiler for ppc64le.

 For multi-arch support it is recommended to use a GCC which has been built with
 support for GNU indirect functions.  This ensures that correct debugging
