Subject: [PATCH] Fix ABI violation on ppc64 ELFv2, fixes #72
The existing ontop_fcontext implementation for ppc64 ELFv2
violates the ABI by not storing the callback entry address
in %r12 before branching. This results in crashes on this
platform.
This commit addresses this and allows the context library
to function as expected on ppc64 platforms using the ELFv2 ABI.
