llvm dev - Jun 2019 - Flaky LLD failures on ppc64le-lld-multistage-test

I’m seeing LLD tests failing on this bot on builds where the blamelist only
contains commits that seem entirely unrelated to LLD, so they might be flaky
failures. Some recent examples:

http://lab.llvm.org:8011/builders/ppc64le-lld-multistage-test/builds/4385

Sorry for my late reply. I didn't notice the clang-cmake-armv8-lld build
bot was failing. ruiu told me ppc64le-lld-multistage-test was also failing
(for some reason I haven't received any notification from it recently).

Just committed r363236 as a workaround. I'll keep and eye and revert if
necessary if this is still failing.

ARM and PPC64 have some absolute relocation types that beyond my knowledge.

lld's rule to change initial absolute relocation types to dynamic
R_*_RELATIVE is different from ld.bfd. I'm still doing experiments recently
to figure out what we can improve/simplify.
