[RFA] Fix broken sysv return value code on powerpc

Not sure whether I submitted this patch for approval before. Anyway,
it fixes how we deal with the broken GCC 3.3.5 on OpenBSD 3.7. It
also fixes some regression tests on NetBSD 2.0 if I remove the attempt
to fix things up from ppcnbsd-tdep.c. There's a small risk that GCC
is broken in a different way now, but I suspect that the tests in the
testsuite that FAIL (and PASS with this fix) were introduced after the
origional code was checked in.

In any case, the new code is much simpler ;-).

ok?

* ppc-sysv-tdep.c (do_ppc_sysv_return_value): Fix the code that
deals with the broken GCC convention.
