Not quite. I think you're trying to do too much in one go.
Slow down, and make one change at a time.

In this case, I don't believe you got the frameless_p case
right. First, you don't seem to have changed the definition
of SKIP_PROLOGUE_FRAMELESS_P in tm-sparc.h. Second, your
implementation of sparc_prologue_frameless_p is not
functionally equivalent to the old one. If it goes thru
the new, symbolic path, it will not return the same result.

Please try handling the simple rewrite of sparc_skip_prologue
first, and then work on combining the two functions in a
separate pass. Smaller and simpler patches are also much
easier to review.
