Bug description:
  -- Problem Description --
  An optimisation in glibc is supposed to make calls within a shared library go to the local entry points, when DT_PPC64_OPT does *not* have bit 2 (PPC64_OPT_MULTI_TOC) set.  See glibc/sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h:ppc64_local_entry_offset.

  Libraries correctly have the bit set, but glibc *is* applying the
  local offset.

  When I look at the l_info in question, I see
  p ((struct link_map *) 0x3fffb7f925d8)->l_info
  $6 = {0x0, 0x3fffb7edaf58, 0x3fffb7edb028, 0x3fffb7edb018, 0x3fffb7edafc8, 
    0x3fffb7edafd8, 0x3fffb7edafe8, 0x3fffb7edb078, 0x3fffb7edb088, 
    0x3fffb7edb098, 0x3fffb7edaff8, 0x3fffb7edb008, 0x3fffb7edaf68, 
    0x3fffb7edaf78, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x3fffb7edb038, 0x0, 0x0, 
    0x3fffb7edb048, 0x0, 0x3fffb7edaf88, 0x3fffb7edafa8, 0x3fffb7edaf98, 
    0x3fffb7edafb8, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,
  -------
    0x3fffb7edb058, 0x0, 0x0, 0x3fffb7edb0b8,
  -------
    0x3fffb7edb0a8, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x3fffb7edb0d8, 0x0, 
    0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x3fffb7edb0c8, 0x0 <repeats 26 times>}

  Highlighted part is the DT_PPC64 area, with DT_PPC64_OPT being the
  last one.  It should be "0x2", but is overwritten with some other
  value due to DT_PPC64_NUM being one too small in the following from
  elf.h.

  /* PowerPC64 specific values for the Dyn d_tag field.  */
  #define DT_PPC64_GLINK  (DT_LOPROC + 0)
  #define DT_PPC64_OPD    (DT_LOPROC + 1)
  #define DT_PPC64_OPDSZ  (DT_LOPROC + 2)
  #define DT_PPC64_OPT    (DT_LOPROC + 3)
  #define DT_PPC64_NUM    3
