It fails for me to on ppc64le but pass over ppc64

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/libexec/gcc/ppc64-redhat-linux/5.1.1/lto-wrapper
Target: ppc64-redhat-linux
[...]
gcc version 5.1.1 20150422 (Red Hat 5.1.1-1) (GCC)

# echo "int func() { return 0; }" | gcc -S -x c -O2 -p -mprofile-kernel - -o - 2> /dev/null | sed -n -e '/func:/,/bl _mcount/p'
func:
.quad .L.func,.TOC.@tocbase
.previous
.type func, @function
.L.func:
mflr 0
std 0,16(1)
bl _mcount

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/5/lto-wrapper
Target: powerpc64le-linux-gnu

gcc version 5.3.1 20160205 (Ubuntu/IBM 5.3.1-8ubuntu2)

# echo "int func() { return 0; }" | gcc -S -x c -O2 -p -mprofile-kernel - -o - 2> /dev/null | sed -n -e '/func:/,/bl _mcount/p'
func:
mflr 0

bl _mcount


I will try it over gcc-6.

Thanks,
