Please don't change this. This is usefull and your so-called "fix" only
makes debug harder.
Same goes for all other patches: use RETURN macro everywhere in PowerPC
emulation code.

/* fneg */
+void do_fneg (void);
 PPC_OP(fneg)
 {
-    FT0 = -FT0;
+    do_fneg();
     RETURN();
 }

Where's the problem ? It compiles and run perfectly on my amd64. Calling
a function for this is a nonsense. Don't apply this.
What could (should !) be done here instead is to use:
FT0 = float64_chs(FT0);
I will do an update to use softfloat functions everywhere in PowerPC
emulation one of those days...
