I would like you to apply that patch to sh-tdep.c.  (So consider
that patch approved for sh-tdep.c.)

I'd also like to see some version of my patch go in if it makes
sense.  But I'd like to see your patch applied as a first step.
(I sent a similar reply on Monday.)

With regard to sh64-tdep.c...  Are you able to do any testing at all
to make sure that your patch basically works for sh64?  If you're
able to get partial results with the other changes that you've made,
I think that's good enough.  Even hand testing on something like
the gdb.base/break.exp test case would be okay.

So... if you're able to test it at all so that you know it basically
works, then it can go in.  If not, I'd prefer to have sh64-tdep.c left
in its current state until you are able to do some testing.
