--- Comment #4 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
With the original powerpc64 ELF ABI, which for functions defined both a symbol
on a descriptor and a "dot-symbol" on the code entry point, "bl
.LTHUNK32.lto_priv.0" looks like a call to a function "LTHUNK32.lto_priv.0". 
There doesn't seem to be a descriptor for LTHUNK32.lto_priv.0, which there
should be for this ABI.  That said, the linker does try to deal with all sorts
of horrible code, and in this testcase the only thing going wrong is leaving a
dynamic symbol reference to the (linker supplied) function descriptor symbol. 
I'll see what I can do about removing that unused dynamic symbol.

Gold doesn't error here because it refuses to deal with the old ABI dot-symbols
on calls.
