H8300: genrecog issues warnings

I digged through the ChangeLogs and found the 
following:

Thu Oct 14 01:49:54 1999  Richard Henderson  <rth@cygnus.com>

	* genrecog.c (special_mode_pred_table): New.
	(NUM_SPECIAL_MODE_PREDS): New.
	(find_operand): New.
	(validate_pattern): New argument `insn'.  Warn for assignment to
	any predicate accepting non-lvalues.  Conditionaly warn for
	match_operand without a mode.  Try much harder to match source
	and destination modes on a set.
	* tm.texi (SPECIAL_MODE_PREDICATES): Document.

Apparently this causes the warnings.
The generated compiler seems to work as supposed to do, but
someone should walk through the *.md files trying to correct
the suspicious define_xxx's

I tried to do this for h8300, but to no avail. Please, give hints
of what to do.

Also, I want to direct your attention to fact that correcting the
*.md files may improve the code generation (see original message
below).
