    powerpc: Backout relocation changes.
    
    Ugh.  I *hate* to back this change out, but these compiler flags don't
    work for relocation on all versions of GCC.  I've not been able to
    reproduce the environment in my setup (and hence, not been able to
    find a combination that *does* work), so I've got no choice but to go
    back to the old gcc flags and linker script.
