Huh? I ran those tests and they pass!

Just to be sure, I've just rebuilt and re-run, twice, and they still pass.

Result           Count
ERROR                6
FAIL                 6
PASS              1184
XFAIL                8

UNSUPPORTED          8

If I monkey with a linker script, and try to build "hello world" I get 
the warning, so the code is there.... I'm confused.

I built a cross toolchain for --target=powerpc-linux-gnu and ran the ld 
testsuite for both the default and -m64 multilibs.
