coffread.c does not?  The only place this currently gets used is the routine
"using_struct_return" in value.c but I would like to use it in m88k-dep.c.

I am trying to make GDB work with the Green Hills 88k compiler.  They have
a different layout for stack frames and don't always generate frame pointer
linkage.  I must synthesize a frame pointer for a subroutine by looking at
its code.  It's a pain, but it is possible.  In order for this to work,
how ever, I must KNOW that the subroutine was generated by the Green Hills
compiler.  Currently, I have a flag that says "assume all subroutines are
compiled by the Green Hills compiler" or "assume all subroutines are compiled
by the GNU compiler".  I would like to use the "gcc_compile_flag" in the block
structure to decide, but it looks like that will only work for dbx style
a.out files.  Our OS is SYS V and we only have coff style.

Any help will be appreciated.

Ad(thanks)vance,
