As it turns out branch hints grew as kind of a misconception. In
addition their interpretation by GNU assembler is affected by
assembler flags and can end up with opposite meaning on different
processors. As we have to loose quite a lot on misinterprerations,
especially on newer processors, we just omit them altogether.

You have to craft OPENSSL_ppccap environment variable to trigger the problem.
