I'm not sure how Linux-specific it really is.  I think most Unixish
ia64 OSes use r10 as the syscall error flag.  I'll leave this one to
the gdb experts that know the other ia64 OSes better than I do.

Ah, yes, I had the code in ia64_push_dummy_call() and failed to change
that when moving it to ia64_write_pc().
