What timing!  This is almost to the top of my todo list to redo
again...

There were three targets using their own prepare to proceed, IIRC:
mach3, hppa OSF, and HP/UX.  Two of those are gone now.  I believe that
generic_prepare_to_proceed will not only work on GNU/Linux (it does),
but that it will also work on HP/UX.  I need to test this hypothesis.

But what does the definition of PREPARE_TO_PROCEED in config/nm-linux.h
have to do with multi-arching m68k now?
