http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00092.html

Use conditional form of branch and link to avoid destroying the cpu
link stack used to predict blr return addresses.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/makecontext.S: Use
	conditional form of branch and link when obtaining pc.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/makecontext.S: Likewise.
