[v3,5/6] powerpc64le: blacklist broken GCC compilers (e.g GCC 7.5.0)

GCC 7.5.0 (BZ# 94200) will refuse to compile if both -mabi=% and
-mlong-double-128 are passed on the command line.  Surprisingly,
it will work happily if the latter is not.  For the sake of
maintianing status quo, test for and blacklist such compilers.

Tested with a GCC 8.3.1 and GCC 7.5.0 compiler for ppc64le.

GCC PR reference syntax (as mentioned before), and typo: maintianing

This change looks reasonable to me.

Maybe add the @c comment to the install.texi file with this patch?
Something like this:

@c See this autoconf check:
@c if $CC compiles with -mabi=ieeelongdouble and -mlong-double-128
