[RFC] PPC: Skip call to __eabi in main()


Some versions of gcc now generate a call to __eabi in main() for the
powerpc-eabi and powerpc-eabispe targets.  The patch below causes this
call to be skipped when placing a breakpoint at the first line of
main(), thus fixing quite a few failures when running the test suite.

I've tested this patch against powerpc-eabi and powerpc-eabispe
running on the simulator.

Comments?

	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_skip_main_prologue): New function.
	(rs6000_gdb_arch_init): Register rs6000_skip_main_prologue.
