I have an access to this, will try it before weekend.

I had a fix for this higher up my "pmachata" branch.  I extracted the 
fix to a "ppc" branch and converted it to a pull request.

Logs would be welcome, but I suspect these are known-wrong, meaning 
always have been buggy, but now there are tests for it.

There's a couple failures in parameters.exp on your master, but no such 
disaster.

I'd be inclined to support this.  Ltrace is in better shape now than it 
was a month ago.
