It may be possible to persuade me to go with "ppc-aix-abi.c".  As I
understand it, the Power Open ABI was based on the ABI used by AIX,
but I've never actually seen a separate AIX ABI document.  (To be
honest though, I haven't looked that hard.)  If you have a pointer to
a separate AIX ABI document, I'd like to look at it.

I don't agree regarding the name "ppc-svr4-abi.c".

The title of the ABI document is:

    System V Application Binary Interface
    PowerPC Processor Supplement

In the introduction under the heading "The PowerPC Processor and the
System V ABI", the document says:

    The System V Application Binary Interface, or System V ABI,
    defines a system interface for compiled application programs.  Its
    purpose is to establish a standard binary interface for
    application programs on systems that implement the interfaces
    defined in the System V Interface Definition, Issue 3.  This
    includes systems that have implemented UNIX System V Release 4.
