I'm looking at how often some of the more esoteric instructions on the
RS6000 are used, i.e. block copy, mult-add, load/store with update etc.

Does anybody know of an available dynamic instruction count package
for the RS6000?  This is akin to pixie for mips and I've heard of a
publically available one for SPARC as well.
