Changes from metin@ibmpa.awdpa.ibm.com (Metin G. Ozisik).

	* buildsym.c  (#ifdef RS6000_TARGET):  Don't create unnecessary
	symbols for nameless types.  And, handle `R' (register parameter
	type) for AIX.  (an extension to existing stabstring grammar).
	* rs6000-xdep.c:  Fix typo (= should have been ==).
