[rfa:ppc64] Get descriptor FN from the same object file as symbol ".FN"

Hello,

The attached tweaks the tail end of the ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call
code so that it restricts the search for the descriptor FN (that
corresponds to function ".FN") to the object file that contains ".FN".
Given shared libraries, several object files can contain the same symbol
so searching for an unqualified "FN" can end up finding the descriptor
in the wrong shared library :-(. This problem occures when trying to go
backwards from ".malloc" to "malloc".

ok?
Andrew

* Makefile.in (ppc-sysv-tdep.o): Update dependencies.
* ppc-sysv-tdep.c: Include "objfiles.h".
(ppc64_sysv_abi_push_dummy_call): Provide the
the FN's objfile when looking for the descriptor.
