Steve Ellcey defined MEMBER_TYPE_FORCES_BLK when he first implemented 
the ia64-hpux port.  At the time, I mentioned using PARALLELs was a 
better solution, but this was a simpler way for him to get the initial 
port working.  Since then, there have been a lot of bug fixes to the 
ia64-hpux support by various people: Steve, Zack, Joseph, etc.  Looking 
at the current code, it does appear that all cases are now handled by 
PARALLELs, and that the definition of MEMBER_TYPE_FORCES_BLK no longer 
appears to be necessary.

I don't have an ia64-hpux machine, so there is no easy way for me to 
test this change.
