[PATCH, PPC] Fix PR88343.

[PATCH, PPC] Fix PR88343.

[Iain Sandoe]

Hi,

The PR is about unnecessary saves of the pic base register, it shows on m32 Linux and m32/m64 Darwin.

The fix is to check that we are in a pic mode and that the picbase has actually been used.
As a bonus, some #ifdef’d TARGET_MACHO code is no longer required.

Tested on power7, bootstrapped on Darwin (testing continues).

OK for trunk?

Branches?

Iain

Okay for trunk if testing completes successfully :-)  Thanks!

Sure.  Please let is soak on trunk for a week first; and don't do 7
until 7.4 has been made?

Your changelogs still wrap (the second "(" should start a new line).
