[PATCH] D26290: Only consider local functions local for the purpose of NOP eliminate after calls on PPC64

> As shown in https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30868 the current assumption that ld will use local calls for global symbols is incorrect.

But the PR does not actually show anything. You simply assert that, "The SysV ABI on PPC64 is supposed to be implicitly PIC all the time." As I stated in https://reviews.llvm.org/D26326, Please demonstrate where the ABI requires this; I'm not sure that your premise is correct.

I really want to understand what situation actually motivated you to look at this? Was it some large binary where some long-call stub was needed?
