    PowerPC: Fix ftime gettimeofday internal call returning bogus data
    
    This patches fixes BZ#16430 by setting a different symbol for internal
    GLIBC calls that points to ifunc resolvers. For PPC32, if the symbol
    is defined as hidden (which is the case for gettimeofday and time) the
    compiler will create local branches (symbol@local) and linker will not
    create PLT calls (required for IFUNC). This will leads to internal symbol
    calling the IFUNC resolver instead of the resolved symbol.
    For PPC64 this behavior does not occur because a call to a function in
    another translation unit might use a different toc pointer thus requiring
    a PLT call.
