Commit
edada399 broke the build on 64-bit powerpc because it moved the
__ftr_alt_* sections of a file away from the .text section, causing
link failures due to relative conditional branch targets being too far
away from the branch instructions. This happens on pretty much all
64-bit powerpc configs.
This change reverts commit
edada399 while preserving the update from
the *.refok sections to .ref.text that has happened since.
