This should pass on powerpc.  It does for me using a current gcc-9
powerpc-linux compiler.  Does your powerpc-linux compiler default to
-m64?

On powerpc64 these tests are xfailed.  Ubuntu edits to ld-gc/gc.exp?

if [istarget powerpc64*-*-*] {
    # otherwise with -mcmodel=medium gcc we get XPASSes.
    set cflags "$cflags -mminimal-toc"
}
...
    #ppc64_elf_gc_mark_hook needs to be taught how to look through
    #the .toc section to properly mark variable sections for gc.
    setup_xfail "powerpc64*-*-*"
