Bill Schmidt 22d40dcfe9 PPC64: Constant initializers with dynamic relocations go in .data.rel.ro.
This fixes warning messages observed in the oggenc application test in
projects/test-suite.  Special handling is needed for the 64-bit
PowerPC SVR4 ABI when a constant is initialized with a pointer to a
function in a shared library.  Because a function address is
implemented as the address of a function descriptor, the use of copy
relocations can lead to problems with initialization.  GNU ld
therefore replaces copy relocations with dynamic relocations to be
resolved by the dynamic linker.  This means the constant cannot reside
in the read-only data section, but instead belongs in .data.rel.ro,
which is designed for constants containing dynamic relocations.

The implementation creates a class PPC64LinuxTargetObjectFile
inheriting from TargetLoweringObjectFileELF, which behaves like its
parent except to place constants of this sort into .data.rel.ro.

The test case is reduced from the oggenc application.

Bill Wendling bbcaa40227 Now that the default for Darwin platforms is to place the LSDA into the TEXT
section, remove the target-specific code that performs this.

Bill Wendling dd3fe94336 The same situation that effected ARM effects PPC with regards to placing the
LSDA into the TEXT section. We need to generate non-lazy pointers to it on
Mach-O. However, the object the NLP points to may be local to the translation
unit. If so, then the NLP needs to have the value of that object specified
instead of "0", which the linker interprets as "external".
