    powerpc64le: enforce non-specific long double in .gnu.attributes section
    
    We turn off this feature to avoid polluting our shared libary with
    a specific value.  However, static libgcc is not under our control,
    and has enabled this for ibm128 routines.  This pollutes the
    resulting shared libraries with it.
    
    Attach a post-linking hook to replace this section with one crafted
    as hard-float + indeterminate ldbl.  This allows IEEE ldbl users to
    avoid having to disable the gnu attributes feature which should
    protect them from linking ibm ldbl libraries using the gnu attributes
    feature.
    
    Currently, this only replaces libc and libm which support both ldbl
    formats and rely on application code to explicitly determine which
    is to be used.
    
    Strictly speaking, the section could be deleted with minimal lost value.
    However correctly set attributes could prove useful for some future change,
    and similarly missing attributes.
