I looked at the gdb.asm subdirectory, and found only one test there:
asm-source.exp. It doesn't look like this testcase would be the correct
location where to add a test for this prologue.

So should I add a new testcase? This testcase would only be activated
for powerpc*-*-* targets.

In terms of the code, I would just dump the assembly code for the
function in question into an .s file. To perform the link, I'm tempted
between do it all in asm (just as we do in asm-source.exp), or see
if it is simpler if I use a C main...

All the testcase would do is: Build the executable, load it, and then
insert a breakpoint in my function.

Am I on the right track?

BTW: I can't find the collection of SH prologues that Daniel was
refering to...

Thanks,
