Andrew,
I sent back a Copyright Assignment form to FSF today. I also 
built multi-arched m32r-gdb with current GDB snapshot. It works
fine.

But my m32r-tdep.c still contains many functions which are 
identified as "deprecated". You mentioned new m32r files should
not contains no deprecated code. But it seems that most of 
architecutures' files, except d10v and i386, contains deprecated
code.

Can I post new m32r files with deprecated functions and
take care of their deprecated code later? It is pretty
difficult to remove all deprecated code from m32r files 
beacuse there are not much examples and documents about the
new frame and inferior function call mechanism now.
