It seems this patch was in my local tree for too long, and it seems I
should have updated it before sending it...

Other architectures are now using PROVIDE instead of PROVIDE_HIDDEN for 
__rel{a,}_iplt_{start,end}, so I guess the same can be done for sparc and
ppc. I am going to do a test build to check that, and I'll come with a
new patch if it works.
