No, clang does not seem to emit the .got relocation into a linkonce 
section that triggered the bug. You may also be interested to know that 
the clang I am able to build once this patch is applied produces working 
binaries on 64-bit PowerPC, though there are serious code gen problems 
(in clang, not LLVM) that prevent it from building even trivial bits of 
world like ls with optimization above -O0.
