Re: -mrelocatable broken on ppc-linux

I thought we'd decided that linux users didn't need -mrelocatable,

making the toolchain slower.  Why do you want -mrelocatable on linux?

We need it for building some small parts of the PPC32 Linux _kernel_.


I 100% agree it is really ugly, but we'll have to live with it for
the foreseeable future.

So please don't remove -mrelocatable{,-lib} for now.
