So David, do we even want to bother trying to support this on -m64
given the only cpu that needs this is a 32-bit only cpu? If so, I
can try and work with Alan to figure out how we can merge the
function descriptors for the thunk routines when using -m64.

Oops, you're write. Had I compiled with -m64 -mcpu=power7 -mtune=476fp,
I would have caught that. I guess (supposing we don't want to support
64-bit) I should have the following hunks instead, correct?
+ /* If not explicitly specified via option, decide whether to generate the
+ extra blr's required to preserve the link stack on some cpus (eg, 476). */
+ if (TARGET_LINK_STACK == -1)
+ SET_TARGET_LINK_STACK (rs6000_cpu == PROCESSOR_PPC476
+ && flag_pic
+ && !TARGET_POWERPC64);
+
+static void
+rs6000_code_end (void)
+{
+ char name[32];
+ tree decl;
+
+ if (!TARGET_LINK_STACK)
+ return;
