I've submitted the patch to gcc-patches.

The patch was against the "master" branch. I've made some minor  
adjustments to it in the mean time, and I've also received word from  
my employer's contracts department that there will be no problem with  
getting a disclaimer :)

I've continued working on gdb to also support calling Pascal methods,  
and I've run a bit into a hitch: the calling_convention field is part  
of a union that also contains cplus_stuff (inside main_type in  
gdbtypes.h), and I need both for methods using a non-standard calling  
convention. Is there a problem with moving the calling_convention  
field out of the type_specific union, and if not, is there anything I  
should pay particular attention to? (other than adjusting a couple of  
macros)

Thanks,
