[patch] Strange stepping behaviour with ppc32 with secure PLTs

It's been more than a month, so I thought I'd try again.

I also thought I'd try the new patch tracker:

:ADDPATCH PowerPC-32:

This patch fixes a problem gdb has 'next'ing over a call to a library
function on a ppc32 target program when secure PLT's are being used.  It
implements a 'GDB only solution' of the previous discussion on the
'gdb@' mailing list.

Here is that previous discussion:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2006-05/msg00154.html
and Daniel Jacobowitz's response:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2006-05/msg00155.html

Subsequent discussion on gdb-patches begins here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-05/msg00270.html
And peter out here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-05/msg00420.html

I have attached a update of the patch, now diff'ed against current
sources.

OK to commit?
