    powerpc, libcpp: Fix gcc build with clang on power8 [PR97163]

    libcpp has two specialized altivec implementations of search_line_fast,
    one for power8+ and the other one otherwise.
    Both use __attribute__((altivec(vector))) and the GCC builtins rather than
    altivec.h and the APIs from there, which is fine, but should be restricted
    to when libcpp is built with GCC, so that it can be relied on.
    The second elif is
    and thus e.g. when built with clang it isn't picked, but the first one was
    just guarded with
    and so according to the bugreporter clang fails miserably on that.

    The following patch fixes that by adding the same GCC_VERSION requirement
    as the second version.  I don't know where the 4.5 in there comes from and
    the exact version doesn't matter that much, as long as it is above 4.2 that
    clang pretends to be and smaller or equal to 4.8 as the oldest gcc we
    support as bootstrap compiler ATM.
    Furthermore, the patch fixes the comment, the version it is talking about
is
    not pre-GCC 5, but actually the GCC 5+ one.
