Hi,

with gcc-8.0.1-0.9.fc28.x86_64 I get:

../../gdb/rs6000-tdep.c: In function 'CORE_ADDR skip_prologue(gdbarch*, CORE_ADDR, CORE_ADDR, rs6000_framedata*)':
../../gdb/rs6000-tdep.c:1911:34: error: bitwise comparison always evaluates to false [-Werror=tautological-compare]
       else if ((op & 0xfc1f016a) == 0x7c01016e)
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~

The code is there since:
	commit 98f08d3d9b69b344bb8b0cd2a4bda1cf4d966e20
	Author: Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>
	Date:   Thu May 29 19:47:14 2003 +0000
		    From Jimi X <jimix@watson.ibm.com>:
		    * rs6000-tdep.c (skip_prologue): Improve support for 64-bit code.
So I do not think we can find the original author.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.alangref/idalangref_stwux_stux_instrs.htm
says
	bit 21 - 30 = 183
	Those are bits 1..10 in normal bit order: 183<<1 = 0x16e

OK for check-in?
