I've just committed the patch below.

Note (see the comments) that I do have some concerns about this patch.
However, I think that we're better off with Jimi's changes than we are
with the status quo.

	From Jimi X <jimix@watson.ibm.com>:
	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_gdbarch_init): Use rs6000_* methods for
	64-bit SysV ABI.
