Hi Michael,

Here are a few minor updates to the powerpc build files that make debugging

[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/wrapper: Output linker map file

[Geoff Levand]

To aid debugging wrapper troubles, output a linker map file
'wrapper.map' when the build is verbose.

[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/head_check: Avoid broken pipe

[Geoff Levand]

Remove the '-m4' option to grep to allow grep to process all of nm's
output.  This avoids the nm warning:

  nm terminated with signal 13 [Broken pipe]
