GCC and Firefox fail to build due to the following errors. At this point my team
at Cross-LFS believes this is related to ld issues for PPC. We have 2 confirmed
reports of problems, with GCC and firefox and lot of other unconfirmed reports.

Here's the error for GCC, which is the most critical in our mind and
demonstrates the error.
