How's this? Might take a few iterations to smooth out all toolchains

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: link error on orphan sections
Add --orphan-handling=error to final link flags. This ensures we have to
handle all sections. This would have caught subtle breakage such as
7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time.
Also bring some wayward sections into the fold:
- .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections.
- .sfpr is a linker generated section for register save functions.
- .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32
- We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG
- DWARF_DEBUG did not include DWARF3 .debug_ranges
- A number of sections are unused.
I don't know if I've exactly got everything right here, particularly
with ppc32, so would appreciate people casting their eye over it.
