The PowerOpen doco requires at least 220 bytes of space, beyond the end

Consequently, an assert checking stack alignment fails and inferior
calls on AIX doesn't work. That will learn me for not checking the math.
Anyway, ok for "the late breaking 6.0 patch"?
I didn't see a patch attached,
Doh!
but if it allocates 220 bytes of space
and then allocates any extra space to get to a 16 byte alignment, it's
okay with me. (Anything which is roughly equivalent is fine too -
e.g, aligning first and then allocating 224 bytes is okay too.)
The code looks like this:
sp = gdbarch_frame_align (current_gdbarch, old_sp);
/* NOTE: cagney/2003-08-13: Skip the "red zone". For some
ABIs, a function can use memory beyond the inner most stack
address. AMD64 called that region the "red zone". Skip at
least the "red zone" size before allocating any space on
the stack. */
if (INNER_THAN (1, 2))
sp -= gdbarch_frame_red_zone_size (current_gdbarch);
else
sp += gdbarch_frame_red_zone_size (current_gdbarch);
/* Still aligned? */
gdb_assert (sp == gdbarch_frame_align (current_gdbarch, sp));
so the attached modifies rs6000 to comply with red-zone's requirements vis:

* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_gdbarch_init): Set the PowerOpen red zone
