From a glance that the patch that updated dw2-dir-file-name.exp;
( commit cd919f5533cc8aa495acd75a6f059e5fcf2e6af9 )
the change there was effectively

-       gdb_breakpoint $func
+       gdb_breakpoint *$func

with assorted regexp changes to match.

The patch description goes into detail, but I interpret the gist of it
as avoiding the aarch64 architecture prologue skipper, since that
prologue skipper does something wrong, with entanglements in the line
table info.

The powerpc prologue skipper (wherever it is) was presumably handling
the local/global entry points properly.  Since the test now species a
specific address (*$func), the prologue skipper is no longer involved.

The patch should probably be reverted, but I defer to others if I've
misunderstood part of this issue.. 

Thanks
