 Log Message:
 PR port-macppc/52564: revert previous and use a different workaround.
 
 The .eh_frame has nothing to do with it, especially since it's not
 generated now anyway.  The problem is that
 
   . = (. + 0x0FFF) & 0xFFFFF000;
 
 now seems to cause binutils to pad the preceding section, and when
 that happens to be .text the powermac ofw is unhappy for whatever
 reason.
 
 For now provide .pad section that absorbs the padding as a workaround.
 The binutils problem still needs to be looked into.
