PowerPC 64 and 32, running Linux
>Description:
On powerpc with immediate indexed loads and stores, an instruction of the format:

lwz r3, 8(r4)

Will load from memory location r4 + 8 into register r3.

However, in the event that you give "0" as the memory offset register, it means literal 0, not r0 and is shown:

lwz r3, 8(0)

(to mean load 'r3' from address 0x00000008)

gdb gets this wrong, and displays:

0x10000094 <_start+0>:  lwz     r3,8(r0)

Similarly, for the register-indexed load/stores (like 'stwx'):

0x10000094 <_start+0>:  stwx    r3,r0,r24

should be 'stwx r3, 0, 24'.
