These are the patches that I was thinking of:

2002-12-09  Steve Ellcey  <sje@cup.hp.com>

        * config/ia64/hpux.h (TARGET_STRUCT_ARG_REG_LITTLE_ENDIAN): Remove
	definition
	(MEMBER_TYPE_FORCES_BLK): Move.
	* config/ia64/ia64.c (ia64_function_arg): Use PARALLEL to pass
	aggregate arguments.
	(ia64_function_value): Use PARALLEL to return aggregate values.

2002-12-09  Steve Ellcey  <sje@cup.hp.com>

	* doc/tm.texi (FUNCTION_ARG_REG_LITTLE_ENDIAN): Remove definition.
	* defaults.h (FUNCTION_ARG_REG_LITTLE_ENDIAN): Remove definition.
	* calls.c (store_unaligned_arguments_into_pseudos) Remove
	FUNCTION_ARG_REG_LITTLE_ENDIAN.
	* stmt.c (expand_return): Ditto.
	* expr.c (move_block_from_reg): Ditto.
	(copy_blkmode_from_reg): Ditto.
