Will try it out. I also identified a few macros that were not converted
yet, but all of them should be easy to do, except one (FIX_CALL_DUMMY)
which I understand should be replaced in the relatively near future.

Can I commit your patch if it turns out to be working, or would you
prefer to do it?

Thanks,

BTW: The next steps in the plan, once HP/UX is multiarch partial, is to
shuffle a bit all the declarations in tm-hppa.h to put them either in
a hppa-tdep.h file, or even hppa-tdep.c if possible. This should help us
reduce the size of tm-hppa.h, and pave the way to its eventual deletion.

Next will be the multi-arching of hppa64, which I hope will be a
reasonably small task, given that hppa is already done.

Then I will look at getting rid of the deprecated mechanisms.

Next (if I'm not dead by then :-) will be to have a look at these
HP-specific macros they added. Maybe I'll even look at them before
working on the use of deprecated functions.
