Thanks for everyone else's suggestions. As far as we understand, debugging quality on POWER is equivalent to other targets. There is an issue with PPC64 BE and AIX requiring an extra frame push when debugging is enabled, which will cause differences between code with debugging enabled and debugging disabled. THIS WILL NOT BE CHANGED. We have no plans to make code generation a slave to the testsuite. The testsuite is a tool, successful results from the testsuite is not a goal unto itself. This patch is okay. Thanks, David
