PowerPC: Do not depend on an undefined shift
I was building a cross compiler to PowerPC on my x86_86 workstation with the
latest version of GCC on October 11th. I could not build the compiler on the
x86_64 system as it died in building libgcc. I looked into it, and I
discovered the compiler was recursing until it ran out of stack space. If I
build a native compiler with the same sources on a PowerPC system, it builds
fine.
I traced this down to a change made around October 10th:
commit 8f1a70a4fbcc6441c70da60d4ef6db1e5635e18a (HEAD)

rs6000: build constant via li/lis;rldicl/rldicr
If a constant is possible left/right cleaned on a rotated value from
a negative value of "li/lis". Then, using "li/lis ; rldicl/rldicr"
to build the constant.
The code was doing a -1 << 64 which is undefined behavior because different
machines produce different results. On the x86_64 system, (-1 << 64) produces
-1 while on a PowerPC 64-bit system, (-1 << 64) produces 0. The x86_64 then
recurses until the stack runs out of space.
If I apply this patch, the compiler builds fine on both x86_64 as a PowerPC
crosss compiler and on a native PowerPC system.
