I'd really, really like to do so... Suse have already reported at
least one package that fails to compile on ppc64 without a workaround
like -Dtext=_text. Which is horrible. The trouble with any change
is that it would further diverge powerpc64-linux and rs6000-xcoff64,
and I can see solid reasons to keep gcc support and the assembly
languages as close as possible.
