I think doing that would result in altering a number of other targets as well 
(thats not a PPC specific function I think?). 

While there IS a little duplication, it is just the 5 lines that calculates the 
array and coerces it. Otherwise the logic is just slightly different enough I 
don't think it would save much.

That said, perhaps there is value in extracting those 5 lines or so into a 
function.  I'll give that a shot.
