I think what you want to do is to go to your local library 
(or browse the web) for a document with a title similar, if not
identical to "Procedure call conventions for the PowerPC processor"
It may be in the architecture manual too.  

I'm afraid I can't help you much with it.  Note that there's
a "TestNative" test case which you'll get if you configure with
--enable-debug.
If you get this to work, chances are your sysdepCallMethod works.

Also, make sure that you don't destroy any registers which may
be fixed on your arch because for instance the shared lib linker
uses them.

Also, see the comment in support.h and the pointer to Kiyo's site
on www.kaffe.org/porting.html
