powerpc .lcomm oddity


This patch makes the powerpc .lcomm use the same subsection as the
generic .lcomm.  I'm not sure why, but read.c:bss_alloc uses
subsection 1, possibly as a hack to avoid a problem seen on powerpc
with the following.

 .section .bss,"aw",@nobits
 .word 0
 .lcomm test,1,1

One of these days when I have a little bit of spare time, I might even
fix this properly.

	* config/tc-ppc.c (ppc_elf_lcomm): Use subsection 1.
