[klibc] ppc32: "Relocation truncated to fit"

[H. Peter Anvin]

Hello ppc32 users,

I think I finally got the "official" answer on the ppc32 problem.  Apparently some 
distributions build binutils so that it defaults to elf32ppc emulation rather than 
elf32ppclinux.  This doesn't matter when using gcc, since gcc overrides the emulation 
explicitly, but it does matter when invoking ld directly like klibc does.

This patch should hopefully take care of it; this supercedes previous patches.

If you could test it out I would be most grateful.

[klibc] ppc32: address space fixes

- klibc.so should be linked at 0x0f800000, so there is actually some
  "reach" in the +/- 16 MB calls.
- On some distributions, the PowerPC linker defaults to the elf32ppc
  emulation rather than elf32ppclinux.  This affects the start address,
  among other things.  Thus, specify the emulation explicitly.
- Add -m32 if gcc supports it, just in case someone ever makes a distro
  which defaults to ppc64.
