[GOLD] powerpc64le-linux fails to link large Linux kernel
Gold attaches stubs to an existing section in contrast to ld.bfd which
inserts a new section for stubs. If we want stubs before branches,
then the stubs must be added to the previous section. Adding to the
previous section is a disaster if there is a large gap between the
previous section and the group.

[GOLD] correct grouping of stubs
This patch rewrites the rather obscure can_add_to_stub_group, fixing
a problem with the handling of sections containing conditional
external branches. When a section group contains any such section,
the group size needs to be limited to a much smaller size than groups
with only non-conditional external branches.

i386: Allow "lea foo@GOT, %reg" in PIC
"lea foo@GOT, %reg" is OK in PIC since it only loads the GOT offset
into register, which can be used later with a GOT base register to

PR20886, looping in ppc64_elf_size_stubs
The PR20886 binary is large enough that there are two stub sections
servicing .text (which is 88M). It so happens that between one
iteration of sizing and the next that one stub section grows while
the other shrinks. Since one section is always growing, the loop
never terminates.
This patch changes the algorithm to not update previous size on
shrinking, once we go past a certain number of iterations.
