Summary:                    Incorrect error message for unresolved symbols
(powerpc)
Description: 
[I reported this issue on the uclibc mailing list before I was aware of the
existence of this bug database.]

On PowerPC, an unresolved symbol during shared library load is
incorrectly reported as a bad reloc type.

For example, during a failed attempt to load the readline Python module I
get:

python: symbol 'PC': can't handle reloc type 'R_PPC_ADDR32' in lib
'/lib/libreadline.so.5'
python: symbol 'tgetnum': can't handle reloc type 'R_PPC_JMP_SLOT' in
lib '/lib/libreadline.so.5'

instead of the more accurate:

python: symbol 'PC': can't resolve symbol in lib '/lib/libreadline.so.5'.
python: symbol 'tgetnum': can't resolve symbol in lib
'/lib/libreadline.so.5'.

The attached patch makes the PowerPC elfinterp.c behave like the i386
version.
