Looking at the gcc-4.8 build log, there are warnings when building
libobjc:

/«PKGBUILDDIR»/src/libobjc/encoding.c: In function
'objc_layout_structure_next_member':
/«PKGBUILDDIR»/src/libobjc/encoding.c:1163:3: warning: implicit
declaration of function 'rs6000_special_adjust_field_align_p'
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
   desired_align = ADJUST_FIELD_ALIGN (type, desired_align);
   ^

It seems that an #include is missing as the function prototype is not
available. So my conclusion that the patch is incomplete seems to be
correct. Anything that links with libobjc on powerpc will fail.
