[PATCH] fix ppc64 build failure on fedora

[PATCH] fix ppc64 build failure on fedora

[Kyle McMartin]

From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@redhat.com>

For some reason or another (newer gcc?) on Fedora 12 koji builders we're
seeing _restgpr0_$n symbols instead of _restgpr_$n as handled in the
prom_init_check.sh file:
Checking prom_init.o symbol '_restgpr0_14'
Error: External symbol '_restgpr0_14' referenced from prom_init.c
Checking prom_init.o symbol '_restgpr0_17'

Add cases to handle this to the filter portion of the script.

Sorry, after reading the gcc code for this, I've realized this is
clearly wrong and must be a toolchain defect...

Apologies for the noise.

cheers, Kyle

My concern tho is if one of thse is actually called ... we implement
them in arch/powerpc/lib/crtsaveres.S but with the "other" names..

Sorry, this appears to be a GCC "feature" introduced in gcc4.5 which is
generating out of line save/restore on ppc64 at -Os. Thanks to Jakub's
suggestion I ended up working around this by building ppc with -O2 for
now (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE)

In any case, according to the gcc "docs" for this, these functions are
supposed to be provided by the linker in the ppc64 case, so it wasn't
correct to try and add them.

I believe Alan Modra said he'd look at the ld issue with regards to
this.

cheers, Kyle
