Yes, the ppc32 ABI doesn't have the relocs to support DS fields.
Rather than defining a whole series of _DS (and _DQ!) relocs, the
linker inspects the instruction being relocated and complains if the
relocation would modify opcode bits. See is_insn_ds_form in
bfd/elf32-ppc.c. We do the same on ppc64 for DQ field insns.

It looks reasonable to me.
