The executable-no-mangle-strip test fails on PowerPC target with an undefined
reference error when linking. The linker attempts to resolve this undefined symbol
at link time, causing the test to fail with:
  undefined reference to `THIS_SYMBOL_SHOULD_BE_UNDEFINED'

The test is designed to verify garbage collection behavior of #[no_mangle]
functions and used(compiler)] statics. This appears to be a PowerPC-specific
linker behavior issue.

Temporarily disable this test on PowerPC until the underlying issue is
resolved upstream.

Related upstream issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/144777

Fixes oe-selftest failure:
- tests/ui/linking/executable-no-mangle-strip.rs on powerpc-poky-linux-gnu
