puts("hello world!")

On linux/ppc llvm 2.9 (using clang) generates assembler in darwin style that
gnu as does not accept. A simple testcase with llvm and gcc output is attached.

It seems to be a simple case of ha16(x) versus  x at ha  and lo16(x) versus x at l 
where the formers are darwin style and latters gnu style. Using corresponding
#defines and preprocessing clang's assembler will enable us to make a
functioning program.

$ clang -v
Debian clang version 2.9-16 (tags/RELEASE_29/final) (based on LLVM 2.9)
Target: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu

gcc version 4.6.1 (Debian 4.6.1-15)

gcc -std=c99 -S -o simple_gcc.s simple.c

clang -std=c99 -S -o simple_clang.s simple.c

$ clang -std=c99 -c -o simple_clang simple.c
