[Bug debug/18655] New: Incorrect data in .debug_frame section for PowerPC

["pett at ca dot ibm dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The output generated in the .debug_frame section is incorrect, as follows:

1. The return_address_register in the CIE is given as 65.  In the ABI 
supplement for the PowerPC, this is the ID of the Floating Point Status and 
Control Register.  This should probably have been 108, the ID of the Link 
Register.

2. In the body of the FDE, the return address is put into in register 108.  
Since the CIE specifies that the return is in register 65, this value is lost 
when traversing the stack

These two register IDs should be the same. (They were both 65 in the 3.2 
version of the compiler).  The simple test case provided generates one CIE, and 
three FDE entries.  The FDEs for main and sub2 are both inconsistent with the 
CIE.
