OK, I tested it and then I noticed that mainline doesn't have
"HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT" set. Is that going in the PPC tree? I added that
to arch/powerpc/Kconfig, and did see the bug you saw. After adding your
patch, I did a diff of the available_filter_functions and had this:

> .elf_core_extra_phdrs
> .elf_core_write_extra_phdrs
> .elf_core_write_extra_data
> .elf_core_extra_data_size

These 4 functions were added after doing the change. Weird.

Anyway, I'll run the change through my normal tests and then push it
out.

Thanks!
