This was introduced by commit

fails in a minimal SPL build where the only thing in
arch/powerpc/lib is
cache.c, which apparently doesn't generate any fixup records.
If this check is really still needed, it should be moved somewhere
more
appropriate, but given that it's been three years and no other architecture does a test like this, I think we can remove it. It
would
have been nice if the original commit said how old the problematic toolchains were.
There was a discussion about it a long while back that has some version information: http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg21415.html
Based on my testing I only could reproduce the issue with 3.x versions, which are 7+ years old.
So do you think we still need this check (moved to someplace we can be sure will generate fixups), or is it time to remove it?
