Does anyone know why returnval does not compile on ppc64?

That definition is a kludge. The elfutils libraries now provide sufficient
information for a proper translator implementation of return value support.

Yeah, that was a mistake. I had a function called returnval() which was
x86 and x86_64 only that I was using. I should probably have been using
retval() instead, but I ended up checking in returnval() too.
We need to standardize on one. retval() came first, but returnval() is
documented. Maybe they can go away after PR 1132 is fixed, but we need
only one until then. Interest. "man stapprobes" documents a mysterious
"$retvalue" which is apparently not implemented yet.
retval(), $retval
returnval(), $returnval
retvalue(), $retvalue
I'm confused. For now, I updated returnval() to be the same as retval(),
so it should work for ppc64.

If so, some PRs need updated.
See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1132
which points to elfutils PR
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166118
which is still open and assigned to you.

Indeed. I updated those.
