Per the PowerPC 64-bit ABI:

"The relocation type for each [relocation table] entry shall be
R_PPC64_JMP_SLOT"

I'm not an expert on the loader but I suspect this was causing a slow
down when resolving symbols for a PLT relocation because the test
against the cached value 'l_lookup_cache.type_class' would always fail
for the PLT relocation which would require a call to
_dl_lookup_symbol_x() every time.

Alan, any comment?
