Result of 20070421 snapshot on ppc64

Since we are encountering some problem in systemtap.syscall tests. I
have modified the script "testsuite/systemtap.syscall/syscall.exp".

I have added "set flags "additional_flags=-m64"" for 64-bit compilation.
 Now I have 3 less errors.  Iam not sure,if this is the right way or not.
=========================
if {$srcdir == ""} {
        set pattern "*.c"
    } else {
        set pattern "$srcdir/$subdir/*.c"
    }
        set flags "additional_flags=-m64"  ===> added this stmt.
    foreach filename [lsort [glob $pattern]] {
        set file [file tail [string range $filename 0 end-2]]
        if {![installtest_p]} { untested $file; continue }
        target_compile $filename $wd/$file executable $flags
        send_log "Testing ${file}\n"
        set res [exec $srcdir/$subdir/test.tcl $file $filename]
        if {$res == "PASS"} {

If I understand this correctly, the default on ppc64 is to build 32-bit
binaries, so 64-bit needs forced. This seems like a general problem on
64-bit systems where syscall.exp should not make assumptions and should
run two passes; one with -m64 and one with -m32.

Your modification is correct for ppc64, but would break other systems.
I'll modify it some more and check it in.
