Hi,
I noticed this patch unfortunately caused around 300 regressions in the testsuite running on ppc64, with failures in several testcases such as:

gdb.asm/asm-source.exp
gdb.base/solib-weak.exp
gdb.base/break-interp.exp
gdb.cp/cmpd-minsyms.exp
gdb.cp/exception.exp
gdb.cp/meth-typedefs.exp
gdb.cp/ovsrch.exp

and others.

Please let me know if you need further info or the testsuite results.

Thanks,
