(But I am not the maintainer.) There seems to be enough issues with this patch that perhaps I should just withdraw it. The alternate solution is to fix the skip_prologue functions that don't do the right thing with assembly language prologues that don't follow normal conventions. The original motivation for this patch was an architecture where skip_prologue always returned PC+2 regardless of what it found. -Fred
