It's one of the fixups for JIT under AIX (not actually relevant to this patch, whoops). Two asm functions (ppc_sync and ppc_dcbf) are required to guarantee cache goodness. The extra stabs and other junk are from -g. I'll try to clean it up and document it for the forthcoming AIX patch. ATM it does nothing since these funcs aren't called in functional scenarios, i.e. no harm in omitting it for now. Adam
