OK, I think I've been here before; see

http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/IA64wiki/PPC64ABI

Notably, on IA64 the PLT entries are function descriptors, so don't
need to be loaded, as is happening in the old code.  IA64 still has an
.opd section for function address comparision.

This appears fixed in the secure PLT branch, as there PPC has changed
so that the PLT isn't writable (as on IA64) so can be loaded directly.

I think this signals it is time to merge the secure plt branch, since
the current behaviour is wrong for IA64.  Sound like a good idea?
