Per my first new comment:

/* NOTE: cagney/2003-10-31: A very simple test, such as
    get_frame_func == entry_point should be sufficient for
    identifying a pc in the entry function.  Does anyone know why it
    wasn't sufficient and hence, why the very convoluted
    "deprecated_inside_entry_func" is needed.  */

and the previous comment:

   /* NOTE: cagney/2003-02-25: Don't enable until someone has found
      hard evidence that this is needed.  */

There is _still_ no evidence that this disabled hack is needed - time to 
deprecate it.
