I was worried about accidental pessimization too, so ran a full gcc
build with the patch and compared against one with s/ABI_AIX/ABI_NONE/
in rs6000_has_function_descriptors.

$ for z in `find . -name testsuite -prune -o -name \*.o -print`; do cmp -s $z ~/build/gcc64-current.save/$z || echo $z >> files; done

That showed up a whole lot of libjava differences which on inspection
proved to be .debug_str ordering.  Ick.  OK, let's look at just code
differences.  (BTW, testsuite pruned because "make check" was still
running.)

$ for z in `cat files`; do objdump -d $z | tail -n +5 > dump; objdump -d ~/build/gcc64-current.save/$z | tail -n +5 > dump2; cmp -s dump dump2 || echo $z >> files2; done
$ cat files2
./gcc/rs6000.o
./prev-gcc/rs6000.o
./stage1-gcc/rs6000.o

So the patch didn't make a real mess..
