No, this is not acceptable for GCC 3.3. This is not a bugfix.
For GCC 3.4 we can explore merging the PowerPC functionality in
with the default implementation in varasm.c -- either with an explicit
"pic" argument or modifying flag_pic around the calls.
None of the larger, intrusive patches are open for discussion for
GCC 3.3.
