gdb/config/powerpc/tm-ppc-eabi.h defines the predicate
SOFTWARE_SINGLE_STEP_P() as 0 but does not define
SOFTWARE_SINGLE_STEP() at all. If I remove this def then all works as
expected.

So what should the AIX test be? possible canidates are:
? if (info.osabi != GDB_OSABI_LINUX)
* Not sure if this is good enough for the PPC-EABI or anyone else
? if (from_xcoff_exec)

or clear it to NULL in ppclinux and eabi.

thoughts?
