Hi, all.

Is there a standard way of skipping prologues?  Some *-tdep.c
files try and skip to the first line number when that info is 
present, while others always use an ad-hock skip based on 
instruction sequences.  The first line number is of course 
dependent on the compiler knowing this convention.

Thanks again.
