Backport of the addition of
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strncat-power7.c
from the following:
commit 9f2f36e5a91c2ce6edba5415e176155eb1008ae1

powerpc: Optimized strncat for POWER7/PPC64
With 3eb38795dbbbd816 (Simplify strncat) the generic algorithms uses
strlen, strnlen, and memcpy. This is faster than POWER7 current
implementation, especially for unaligned strings (where POWER7 code
uses byte-byte operations).
This patch removes the assembly implementation and uses a multiarch
specialization based on default algorithm calling optimized POWER7
symbols.
ChangeLog:
2015-01-13 Adhemerval Zanella <azanella@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strncat-power7.c: New file.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strncat-power7.S: Remove file.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/strncat.S: Likewise.
plus the addition of strncat-power7 to
