Re: Remove useless defines of DONT_ACCESS_GBLS_AFTER_EPILOGUE

I thought about that, but since the macro was never documented, and
hasn't been meaningful since 1997, and was only defined in the three
header files mentioned above (and the iq2000.h one was merely copied
from the mips.h at that), I didn't think it was worth it.  I don't
think anybody is going to add a use accidentally, and with the lack of
documentation and the lack of use I doubt it is defined in any
uncontributed backends.

It would not surprise me if someone were to contribute another back end in future copied from an old version of one which defined this macro. There have certainly been enough instances of new back ends copied in part from old (complete with generic comments copied from ancient versions of the manual).


Here is a patch.  Tested by building the compiler on
i686-pc-linux-gnu.  OK for mainline?

OK.
