In addition to the previous patch to aid in transitioning the PowerPC long
double format to IEEE 128-bit, I have some additional patches that are needed.
The previous patch is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-06/msg00634.html
This patch turns off setting the .gnu_attributes when building the libgcc
helper functions. I ran into some linker warnings as I built some multilib
toolchains, and this turns off those warnings.
I have done separate bootstraps on a little endian power8 system with the long
double type set to IBM extended and IEEE 128-bit extended. There were no
regressions in using this patch. Can I check it in, and eventually back port
it to GCC 8.2 with the other long double transition patches?

* config/rs6000/t-float128 (FP128_CFLAGS_SW): Compile float128
support modules with -mno-gnu-attribute.
* config/rs6000/t-float128-hw (FP128_CFLAGS_HW): Likewise.
