Nevermind about this last suggestion, as the value of the `i` variable is required
below to do the removal.

But actually when looking at the code a bit closer, I am not sure it works, since
 ppc_threads[i] yields a pointer, so using the '.' operator is not valid.  And indeed:

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ppc-linux-nat.c: In function 'void ppc_linux_thread_exit(thread_info*, int)':
/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ppc-linux-nat.c:2397:24: error: request for member 'tid' in 'ppc_threads.std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator[]<thread_points*, std::allocator<thread_points*> >(((std::vector<thread_points*>::size_type)i))', which is of pointer type '__gnu_cxx::__alloc_traits<std::allocator<thread_points*> >::value_type {aka thread_points*}' (maybe you meant to use '->' ?)
     if (ppc_threads[i].tid == tid)
                        ^~~
/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ppc-linux-nat.c:2399:20: error: cannot convert 'thread_points**' to 'thread_points*' in assignment
  t = &ppc_threads[i];
                    ^

Building also points out this error, where you probably meant to use .back ():

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ppc-linux-nat.c: In member function 'virtual void ppc_linux_nat_target::low_new_thread(lwp_info*)':
/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/ppc-linux-nat.c:2362:23: error: 'class std::vector<thread_points*>' has no member named 'last'; did you mean 'at'?
       p = ppc_threads.last ();
                       ^~~~

Applying this fixup to your patch makes it build for me:
