Is there is a better place, currently? sysv4.h contains a mess of OS
related defines already, to support various -mcall options. If those
stay in sysv4.h I can't see a better place for the fall-back
GNU_USER_DYNAMIC_LINKER define.
Here's the problem:
powerpc*-*-linux* uses tm_file="rs6000/rs6000.h dbxelf.h elfos.h
gnu-user.h linux.h freebsd-spec.h rs6000/sysv4.h" plus a few more.
linux.h contains the proper GNU_USER_DYNAMIC_LINKER define for linux.
Fairly obviously we can't put a fallback define in rs6000/rs6000.h
for those targets that don't include linux.h (and including linux.h
for non-linux targets is probably not a good idea).
Besides rs6000/sysv4.h, you could put the fallback in rs6000/freebsd.h
to fix powerpc*-freebsd*, but then you'd need to put it in
rs6000/netbsd.h, rs6000/eabi.h, rs6000/rtems.h, rs6000/vxworks.h,
rs6000/lynx.h to fix those targets. That would be horrible. And it
would leave powerpc-elf broken.
