Attached is the patch I checked in locally at AdaCore:

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * rs6000-nat.c (rs6000_ptrace32): Cast "addr" to "uintptr_t"
        instead of "long long" in call to ptrace64.

Tested on ppc-aix in full 32bit mode (both GDB and inferior are
32bit). I think the other scenario would be 64bit GDB debugging
a 32bit inferior, but I don't have a 64bit compiler to try it.

I'd like to commit this patch, unless there are comments/suggestions.

Thank you,
