Enable thin archives build for powerpc when COMPILE_TEST is set.
Thin archives are explained in this commit:

  a5967db9af51a84f5e181600954714a9e4c69f1f

This is a gradual way to introduce the option to testers.

I think I'd rather this was actually a user-selectable option, eg.

config USE_THIN_ARCHIVES
	bool "Build the kernel using thin archives"
        default n
	select THIN_ARCHIVES
	help
	  Build the kernel using thin archives.
	  If you're unsure say N.


cheers
