[PowerPC] Remove -ftree-loop-linear from Makefiles
In the past the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch provided a measurable improvement in performance for certain functions. At some point it was assigned as the responsibility of Graphite in GCC. It has been found that even with Graphite enabled these flags no longer perform any appreciable improvement over the baseline. Graphite now has some open bugs which need to be fixed in order for it to provide measurable performance improvements but it lacks active development. As a result some compiler distributors may disable Graphite. If Graphite is disabled then building GLIBC will fail if the "-ftree-loop-linear" switch is used. This patch removes the use of "-ftree-loop-linear" as unnecessary.
