[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: Discard dynsym section for !PPC32

From: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au>
Date: 2018-12-04 00:03:47
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Alan Modra [off-list ref] explains:

Discarding of interp and dynstr happened in a previous patch. The dynsym
cleanup was a bit less straightforward, so it gets it's own patch.
