How does pascal allocate [raw] memory?

(Ah, the old ``which target'' problem --- target architecture, target
os, target abi, target inferior, .... :-)
Yes. I think these are functions of the ABI and not the inferior. Any
interix inferior (local, remote) needs this override. Hence they live
in the architecture vector and not the target vector.
I'm not sure what to do about the language side of this though. It
could always be parameterized with the current frame's language -> not
sure if that is sufficient though.
enjoy,
Andrew
