I updated the patch to set the compiler options for gcc and XLC.  The
test was run on AIX and passes with the patch.  Note that AIX actually
uses gcc to compile gdb.  We tried compiling gdb with the xlc compiler.
We ran into other gdb compilation errors that we were not able to
resolve.  We were able to verify that the xlc options to disable the
Traceback Buffer were right but that was it.  

If other compilers are used to compile gdb on power, the option for
that compiler to disable the Traceback Table will need to be added to
the test otherwise the test will fail for that compiler.

I will post the updated version of the patch.
