Re: m68k bootstrapping broken

This change could affect buggy user code containing

Is it possible that there is some endianness or similar issue
inside the new frame generation code? Bitfields or whatever might
cause portability problems?


No, it shouldn't be possible.  There might some obscure bug somewhere
in corner cases such as functions with big frames or functions with
strange attributes...

The new code couldn't be regtested with dejagnu because there is
no m68k simulator in GDB and there were too many issues with remote
testsuite execution on embedded ColdFire boards.
