Thanks, the testcase is really useful!  I had been trying to debug
this problem by remote-control with someone at Gentoo without
much luck.  It turns out that the root of the problem is
SYMBOL_REFERENCES_LOCAL in ppc_elf_check_relocs, in combination
with reference counting of the plt.  Previous versions of ppc
binutils didn't properly reference count the plt, and check_relocs
is too early to decide whether a symbol is really local.

I'll cook up a fix.
