GCC 6 is no longer maintained.  GCC 8 powerpc*-* does not support SPE
anymore (you need to configure for powerpc*-*spe* instead; you probably
want that for GCC 6 and GCC 7 as well).

-mpowerpc-gpopt, -mfprnd, -mmfpgpr, and -mhard-float do not make sense
for your target.

That works fine for me (those functions are in libgcc.a).

Please open a PR for GCC 7 (and GCC 8).
