From 6dff5b67054e17c91bd630bcdda17cfca5aa4215 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geoff Levand Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 10:47:32 -0800 Subject: powerpc/ps3: Fix system hang with GCC 5 builds GCC 5 generates different code for this bootwrapper null check that causes the PS3 to hang very early in its bootup. This check is of limited value, so just get rid of it.
