We need to fix the 9l linker to provide external linking support, so that
-linkmode=external works on power64.

This code is currently on the dev.power64 branch and should come into tip after the 1.4
release is out.  This means writing elfreloc1, elfsetupplt, adddynsym, adddynrela, etc.,
in cmd/9l/asm.c and doing whatever else is necessary so that (cd misc/cgo/test
&& go test -linkmode=external) passes for both big- and little- endian power64.

Comment 2:

Doing "whatever else is necessary" to make misc/cgo/test pass will include writing
asm_power64be.s, asm_power64le.s, and gcc_linux_power64{be,ls}.s in the runtime/cgo
package.

misc/cgo: skip testso on ppc64
36f456c 
This test requires external linking, but we don't yet implement
external linking on ppc64 (tracked in issue #8912).  Disable the test
on ppc64 until external linking is implemented.

This makes all.bash pass on ppc64le.
