No it doesn't.  My patch moves all references to those functions into
ppc-linux-tdep.c only, and uses the GDB OS ABI stuff to hook it in.

I'm happy to move the ppc_sysv stuff into ppc-sysv-tdep.c, then, for now,
and add ppc-sysv-tdep.o to all the targets that currently use rs6000-tdep.o.

Would that be an acceptable interim solution?  It seems certainly better
than requiring all PowerPC targets to slurp in ppc-linux-tdep.o (which
contains a lot of code that is completely useless for NetBSD, for example).
