It looks like the variable was introduced with the initial version
of the m-arm.h file in 1990, so this is certainly ancient.

* m-arm.h, arm-dep.c arm-pinsn.c arm-opcode.h: New files.
dbxread.c, m-convex.h (VARIABLES_INSIDE_BLOCK): Add gcc_p parameter.
Makefile.dist (alldeps.mak): Special case for arm-convert.s.
dbxread.c (define_symbol): Check for local based on it not
being any one of the known deftypes.
values.c (using_struct_return): Use new macro USE_STRUCT_CONVENTION.
Just removing it would certainly be fine with me; should we do that?
Bye,
Ulrich
