I agree.  However, the patch can't be applied as-is.  There are a
couple of cosmetic issues, and at least one syntax error ("return 1",
no semicolon).  Let's do it in two pieces, please.

Could you post a patch which changes the type of the
software_single_step gdbarch method to return int, updates infrun.c,
and nothing else?  Then we can look at the PowerPC bits (which are
more interesting) separately.

When you're editing a bunch of tdep files, please use the
gdb_mbuild.sh script to make sure they all still compile.
