I was testing h8300 because I converted it.  In the present state
of the patch, testing on ports other than i386 or h8300 would only
tell me that I didn't break anything for an un-converted port.
Given the small size of the machine-independent changes (all the
new code in genpreds is dormant unless a define*constraint form
appears in the MD) I'm not much worried about that.

The tip is potentially useful in the future, though, thanks.
