OK.

Presumably this is because HP says that the proper name is PA-RISC. 
However, we use HP PA everywhere in the gcc documentation and sources. 
Changing one file to use PA-RISC does not make sense.  That just makes 
the documentation inconsistent.

OK.

This isn't actually SunOS 4 specific.  It just uses SunOS 4 as an 
example.  There are other operating systems that do the same thing.  In 
particular, I think Solaris does the same thing.  I would suggest 
leaving the info in, but no longer use SunOS 4 as an example.  We could 
just drop the first reference to SunOS4, turn the second one into "the 
OS", and drop the third paragraph.

OS.

Again, this isn't SunOS4 specific, this is true of any target with K&R C 
headers.  The doccs just use SunOS4 as an example of such a system.  I 
think this paragraph still serves a useful purpose.  I'd suggest 
replacing SunOS 4 with "some old operating systems" or something like that.

OK.
