Due to this in regcache.c where the find_regno function compares "pc" passed with "rpc" and reports failures. That is why we have create microblaze-linux-core.xml to have "pc" instead of "rpc".

But that is port-specific code that you're adding with this patch.
So just write instead:
supply_register_by_name (regcache, "rpc", &newpc);
Why wouldn't that work? But maybe I'm missing something.
