symcheck: Only ELFv1 ppc64 doesn't set `.note.GNU-stack`

`powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu` currently is an ELFv1 target, while
`powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl` is an ELFv2 target.

Big-endian and little-endian ELFv2 targets both behave normally: they emit
`.note.GNU-stack`. Therefore, currently the tests would fail on big-endian
powerpc64 with ELFv2 ABI.

To determine whether we need to special-case powerpc64, we should check
the ABI instead of the endianness. The problem here is that the `e_flags`
part of the ELF header is actually `0` in the output of `cc -O0
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fPIC -m64 -mabi=elfv2 -Wall -Wextra
-o missing_gnu_stack_section.o -c missing_gnu_stack_section.S`, the output
of that command is bit-for-bit identical on ELFv1 and ELFv2 hosts. In
order to know when to allow an unset `.note.GNU-stack` we therefore must
set `.abiversion 2` to be able to tell them apart from the ELF header.

This makes all tests pass on `powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl`.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).

Quick Start

Read “Installation” from The Book.

Installing from Source

If you really want to install from source (though this is not recommended), see INSTALL.md.

Getting Help

See https://www.rust-lang.org/community for a list of chat platforms and forums.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

For a detailed explanation of the compiler's architecture and how to begin contributing, see the rustc-dev-guide.
