binutils: Don't generate .PPC.EMB.apuinfo sections for 64-bit output
This can cause issues building ppc64/eabi kernel. For details see the patch header (From OE-Core rev: 3c6622e22b0e1b2a8ceea6465ea84c6fb8299518) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

+The powerpc assembler can generate .PPC.EMB.apuinfo sections in some
+circumstances. These originate, I think, from the old e500 ABI; in
+any case, they are only defined for 32-bit ABIs, and there is a
+significant amount of code in bfd/elf32-ppc.c to handle them
+appropriately, none of which is in elf64-ppc.c. However, the
+assembler can generate them when building 64-bit code for processors
+such as e5500 (which uses PPC_OPCODE_E500MC). In such circumstances,
+they get generated as PROGBITS rather than NOTE sections, which
+reportedly can cause problems in a Linux kernel build.
+
+Since these sections are only defined in 32-bit ABIs, I think it's
+most appropriate to avoid generating them for 64-bit output, which
+this patch does.
