I thought that since this only affects ppc64 and ppc64le, and provides
reflection support that doesnt exist in gcc 4.9 for Power (you get a
panic if you try to use reflection on ppc64, ppc64le), it would be OK.
We'll look at putting it in our own branch.

Add support for reflection for gccgo in gcc 4.9. This is not a backport

Sorry, I didn't see at first that this is not a backport. This is a
complex patch that has never been tested on trunk. We don't this kind
of change on release branches. For this kind of work you'll need to
maintain your own branch. Sorry.
