From edada399e81303e85a1090b3cf0f3c5b13ff5f53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Abbott Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:02:23 -0400 Subject: powerpc: Use TEXT_TEXT macro in linker script. Rather than adding .ref.text to the powerpc linker script so that we can use __REF on the powerpc architecture, it seems simpler to switch to using the generic TEXT_TEXT macro.

This happens on pretty much all 64-bit powerpc configs. This change reverts commit edada399 while preserving the update from the *.refok sections to .ref.text that has happened since.
