That looks like you didn't #include <shlib-compat.h>.
Look at an existing use of the macros and copy its form exactly.
powerpc32/libgcc-compat.S is an example that is in powerpc asm code.

It needs to be fixed anyway, so that another powerpc variant configuration,
or a powerpc build with --enable-oldest-abi, omits the unneeded cruft.
Finally, a friendly word: if you don't learn how to trim your CC lists,
eventually some of these people will find you beat you with sticks.
