powerpc64 and powerpc have very different stack handling
rules for FreeBSD. As an example, powerpc does not require
red-zones for signal handling in the kernel but powerpc64
does.

For lib32 support, what ABI is the powerpc code supposed
to follow in the powerpc64 environment? What style of
stack handling (and related register usage) is supposed
to be in use? If it is distinct from powerpc native's
ABI, what documentation should be looked at for the ABI?

PowerPC via lib32 should be using the 32-bit svr4 ABI. If you see any
discrepancy in that, it's a bug that needs fixed.
