Fix: powerpc32: transparent unions alter calling convention

On powerpc32, transparent unions have an impact on the calling
convention used for the argument, as they use the calling convention of
the first field of the union rather than the union itself. On powerpc32,
the calling convention for a union is that the register has a pointer to
the union, which differs from the calling convention of its first field
(which is a pointer in this case).

"[...] the argument is passed to the function using the calling
conventions of the first member of the transparent union, not the
calling conventions of the union itself. All members of the union must
have the same machine representation; this is necessary for this
argument passing to work properly." [1]

Therefore, use a transparent union for c++ so c++ compilers can emit
caller code with a compatible stack layout. The "ignored attribute"
warning emitted by clang appears to be only for architectures where the
calling convention is not affected by the presence of transparent union
attribute. Therefore, simply silence this warning.
