If that's the case it would be a good idea to suggest a command line
option to disable the new out-of-line code generation feature of that
patch.

But if the stubs it calls are really simple, you can just add
implementations under arch/powerpc/lib/, and therefore it's
not such a big deal.  This is what we've traditionally done
with libcalls generated by gcc for runtime support.
