I thought it did, but I'll take a look. I assume you did a fresh
configure and rebuild (or at least touched tm_p.h)?

Yes, unfortunately this field is dependent on a number of different
things (abi, isa, long). The ideal situation is to be able to base the
value on Pmode via the backend, however, until the integrated save-temps
work is completed we won't be able to use the backend to describe this.
It's conceivable that we can do this via the same mechanism - I may give
it a try.
