[Bug bootstrap/41626] New: GCC does not bootstrap on powerpc64

[meissner at gcc dot gnu dot org]

GCC does not bootstrap on powerpc64.  It fails in the 2nd stage, when it links
build/gensupport.o.  On the powerpc, the statements:

static struct obstack obstack;
struct obstack *rtl_obstack = &obstack;

On the powerpc generate a reference to an unknown external 'obstack', while on
the x86_64, it generates 'obstack' as a bss item.  The option
-fkeep-static-consts does not help the issue.
