Jakub got to the powerpc change before I could finish testing my 
version. No problem with Jukub's quickness, but I notice that his 
version does not fill in the

"#if defined NOT_IN_libc && defined IS_IN_rtld"


case. While the X86_64 example does.

Is this acceptable or should I try to fill in the code for this case?

There are some difficulties with toc/got access before they are 
relocated, so this may be appropriate. But I wanted to verify that this 
omission is intended.
