I am proposing that the code you have written to implement fma should go
in the best place for it (target-independent, soft-fp) rather than an
inferior place (a PowerPC-specific file). This is the proper approach for
fixing things on the mainlines of the respective repositories; a backport
to 4.1 might take a more local fix.
