---Problem Description---
DT_PPC64 area is too small to fit all its fields, causing DT_PPC64_OPT to be overwritten by another data.
Current Ubuntu 14.04 code has DT_PPC64_NUM = 3, while it should be 4.

The commit that fixes this issue upstream, in the official glibc 2.19 branch is b59b0c6c3f8a9434fe5d4ee1a954091ad29669c1.

---uname output---
Linux genoa 3.13.0-35-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 15 01:57:29 UTC 2014 ppc64le GNU/Linux

Machine Type = 8247-22L 

---Steps to Reproduce---
 This problem is reproducible if DT_PPC64_NUM is not equal to 4 in elf/elf.h
