   Yep.  More generally, I'd prefer to see people try to consolidate 
   existing methods, or create a new "gdbarch has-a" relationship(1), 
   rather than add yet another architecture method.  The architecture 
   vector contains so much redundancy that it is depressing.

gdbarch has-a shared library architecture.  Yes, we defenitely need
that.  I have some thoughts on it.  But I want to finish SPARC and the
corefile stuff first...

   Any way, for your case, make the default something like:

   CORE_ADDR
   cannot_skip_solib_resolver (struct gdbarch *gdbarch, CORE_ADDR pc)
   {
   #ifdef SKIP_SOLIB_RESOLVER
	   /* Ok the function's name is a lie.   This is here to prop up old 
   architectures and should be deleted.  */
	   return SKIP_SOLIB_RESOLVER(...);
   #else
	   return 0;
   #endif
   }

   Then the macro can be deprecated.

I'll get rid of the SKIP_SOLIB_RESOLVER macro completely, but
unfortunately I won't have time to do this before friday.
