[Bug 996] New: Unclear which is the correct underlying ABI for PPC64

OtherBugsDependingO 611
             nThis:


We have several potential documents that may be the correct underlying spec for
PPC64, and it is not clear whether one of these is right, or all of them:

System V Application Binary Interface PowerPC Processor Supplment
(http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/elfspec_ppc.pdf) This is 1 of 2 known PPC
ELF standards. This one was developed by SunSoft. The two version are not
identical, and applications can only conform to one or the other, while it seems
possible for an implementation to support both simulaneously. (The other is a
paper-only copy from USL).

64-bit PowerPC ELF Application Binary Interface Supplement 1.7
(http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/) from IBM.
