    PowerPC: PR libgcc/97543 and libgcc/97643, fix long double issues

    If you use a compiler with long double defaulting to 64-bit instead of
128-bit
    with IBM extended double, you get linker warnings about mis-matches in the
gnu
    attributes for long double (PR libgcc/97543).  Even if the compiler is
    configured to have long double be 64 bit as the default with the
configuration
    option '--without-long-double-128' you get the warnings.

    You also get the same issues if you use a compiler with long double
defaulting
    to IEEE 128-bit instead of IBM extended double (PR libgcc/97643).

    The issue is the way libgcc.a/libgcc.so is built.  Right now when building
    libgcc under Linux, the long double size is set to 128-bits when building
    libgcc.  However, the gnu attributes are set, leading to the warnings.

    One feature of the current GNU attribute implementation is if you have a
shared
    library (such as libgcc_s.so), the GNU attributes for the shared library is
an
    inclusive OR of all of the objects within the library.  This means if any
    object file that uses the -mlong-double-128 option and uses long double,
the GNU
    attributes for the library will indicate that it uses 128-bit IBM long
    doubles.  If you have a static library, you will get the warning only if
you
    actually reference an object file  with the attribute set.

    This patch does two things:

        1)  All of the object files that support IBM 128-bit long doubles
            explicitly set the ABI to IBM extended double.

        2)  I turned off GNU attributes for building the shared library or for
            building the IBM 128-bit long double support.
