+	* gdb.arch/altivec-regs.exp: Use standard_testfile instead of
+	maintaining separate logic for constructing the output path.
+	* gdb.arch/powerpc-d128-regs.exp: Likewise.
+	* gdb.arch/ppc-dfp.exp: Likewise.
+	* gdb.arch/ppc-fp.exp: Likewise.

+	* gdb.arch/altivec-abi.exp: Likewise, plus added local variable
+	binprefix for generating the additional binary files.
