The patch proposed by Peter Bergner [1] to libgcc in order to fix
[BZ #21707] adds a dependency on a symbol provided by the loader,
forcing the loader to be linked to tests after libgcc was linked.
It also requires to read the thread pointer during IRELA relocations.
Tested on powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le, s390x and x86_64.

[BZ #21707]
* csu/libc-start.c (LIBC_START_MAIN): Perform IREL{,A}
relocations before or after initializing the TCB on statically
linked executables. That's a per-architecture definition.
* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Add a comment about thread-local
variables initialization.
* sysdeps/generic/libc-start.h: New file. Define
ARCH_APPLY_IREL and ARCH_SETUP_IREL.
* sysdeps/powerpc/Makefile:
[$(subdir) = elf && $(multi-arch) != no] (tests-static-internal): Add tst-tlsifunc-static.
[$(subdir) = elf && $(multi-arch) != no && $(build-shared) == yes]
(tests-internal): Add tst-tlsifunc.
* sysdeps/powerpc/tst-tlsifunc.c: New file.
* sysdeps/powerpc/tst-tlsifunc-static.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64le/Makefile (f128-loader-link): New
variable.
[$(subdir) = math] (test-float128% test-ifloat128%): Force
linking to the loader after linking to libgcc.
[$(subdir) = wcsmbs || $(subdir) = stdlib] (bug-strtod bug-strtod2)
(bug-strtod2 tst-strtod-round tst-wcstod-round tst-strtod6 tst-strrom)
(tst-strfrom-locale strfrom-skeleton): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/libc-start.h: New file. Define
ARCH_APPLY_IREL and ARCH_SETUP_IREL.
