Summary

In r132997, more than 10 years ago, grehan added -Wa,-mppc64bridge to a few Makefiles under sys/boot/powerpc.

Apparently this flag was required with the GNU as version of that time, but it does not seem to be necessary anymore. I tried building sys/boot/powerpc using gcc and gas, both with and without this flag, but the output was exactly identical.

Since clang does not support this flag, can we please dump it entirely?

Test Plan

Compile and compare output.

Nuke it. I don't think it was necessary even when it was added. Thanks!
