GDB for ppc-64

When I'm debugging ppc64 code, I keep getting confused by procedure
descriptors and the actual function addresses. ie:

(gdb) p do_select
$1 = {int (int, fd_set_bits *, long int *)} 0xc0000000000c471c <do_select>
(gdb) x 0xc0000000000c471c
0xc0000000000c471c <do_select>: 0x7d800026
(gdb) x 0xc0000000004f6810
0xc0000000004f6810 <do_select>: 0xc0000000

-- I'm never really sure which one I get. Since parsing .identifiers
(symbols preceded by a dot) is tricky in C code I'm not sure what the
best way to resolve this would be.
