thanks. I'm working on the inferior function calls problem (posted some
RFCs this week). Hope to get that working next week.

yay!!

yeah, i've been working on cleaning that up. once the new solib stuff go
in it should be better, but it still doesn't work completely yet.

i'll pull in your changes and try it out; if things are working in
general, is it ok if i enable the new solib support? it's not very
extensively tested but the basics seem to be ok.

i have a bunch of hppa-hpux-tdep.c changes queued up in my tree. i need
to sort those out and submit them. the last time i run the testsuite (on
weds) there were about 580 FAILs (vs 620 posted by Joel in October)
