[LLVMdev] [lld] Removal of ELF PowerPC port

Hi all,

The PowerPC ELF backend of LLD is not in a particularly good state. It
supports one relocation, has one test, and it does not seem to have
received any commits other than tree-wide refactors since it was
initially committed. It is also structured slightly differently to the
other backends which means that refactoring patches that touch all the
backends are made more difficult.

Is anyone interested in maintaining this backend or would it be better
to remove it?

Thanks,
