It may be possible to persuade me to go with "ppc-aix-abi.c". As I
understand it, the Power Open ABI was based on the ABI used by AIX,
but I've never actually seen a separate AIX ABI document. (To be
honest though, I haven't looked that hard.) If you have a pointer to
a separate AIX ABI document, I'd like to look at it.
I don't agree regarding the name "ppc-svr4-abi.c".
The title of the ABI document is:
System V Application Binary Interface
PowerPC Processor Supplement
In the introduction under the heading "The PowerPC Processor and the
System V ABI", the document says:
The System V Application Binary Interface, or System V ABI,
defines a system interface for compiled application programs. Its
purpose is to establish a standard binary interface for
application programs on systems that implement the interfaces
defined in the System V Interface Definition, Issue 3. This
includes systems that have implemented UNIX System V Release 4.
