The changes to reorder sections for better relro protection on powerpc64,
3e2b0f31, 23283c1b, and 5ad18f16, run into a problem with xlc.
xlc -qdatalocal puts global variables into .toc, which means that .toc
must be writable. The simplest way to accomplish this is to edit the
linker script to remove .toc sections from .got on detecting xlc object
files.
