[PATCH] powerpc: Use FLAG_ELF_LIBC6 for 32-bit known libraries

In systems with more versions of the known libraries, i.e. on IBM
Advance Toolchain, ldconfig will order them incorrectly on ld.cache.

The issue only occurs with 32-bit libraries that don't depend on libc or
libm. That's because process_elf32_file check if the elf depends on one
of the libraries at known_libs to select the elf flag. For example, as
libc.so.6 don't depend on itself or on libm it will be flagged as
FLAG_ELF instead of FLAG_ELF_LIBC6 as expected.

This commit fixes this by checking if a appropriate flag was set by
process_elf32_file. If not it will search on known_libs and use the flag
in there.
