With a recent mainline libsanitizer merge from upstream, we're now seeing a
lot of mainline ASAN test suite failures with the following error:
==26426==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list; you should
either link runtime to your application or manually preload it with LD_PRELOAD.
FAIL: c-c++-common/asan/asan-interface-1.c -O0 execution test
This is caused by mainline libasan detecting that libasan is not linked
first and erroring out. With the 4.8 and 4.9, we may just silently run
into problems. The root cause is that powerpc*-linux does not define
LIBASAN_EARLY_SPEC which is defined in gnu-user.h. It looks like all
*-linux architectures include gnu-user.h except for powerpc*-linux.
As discussed, for the 4.8 and 4.9 backports of the original patch, we
will just copy those defines to the rs6000 header files and not try and
include gnu-user.h itself.
This passed bootstrap and regtesting on powerpc64-linux with no regressions.
Ok for 4.8?
