PowerPC mandates SP to be 16 bytes aligned. Furthermore, a stack frame is added, pointing to the reset vector which may in the way when gdb is walking the stack because the reset vector may not accessible depending on emulator settings. Also use a temp register so gdb doesn't pick up intermediate values.
