function parameters regression

On m68k-motorola-sysv (COFF), the following tests fail, because of
a hp-specific new code in valops.c.
Can someone fix that ? For me, testing only `using_gcc' seems too wide.
p t_func_values(add,func_val2)
You cannot use function <add> as argument.
You must use a pointer to function type variable. Command ignored.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs2.exp: p t_func_values(add,func_val2)
p t_func_values(func_val1,doubleit)
You cannot use function <doubleit> as argument.
You must use a pointer to function type variable. Command ignored.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs2.exp: p t_func_values(func_val1,doubleit)
p t_call_add(func_val1,3,4)
$48 = 7
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/callfuncs2.exp: p t_call_add(func_val1,3,4)
p t_call_add(add,3,4)
You cannot use function <add> as argument.
You must use a pointer to function type variable. Command ignored.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/callfuncs2.exp: p t_call_add(add,3,4)
Culprit code :
/*elz: this code is to handle the case in which the function to be called
has a pointer to function as parameter and the corresponding actual argu
ment
is the address of a function and not a pointer to function variable.
In aCC compiled code, the calls through pointers to functions (in the bo
dy
of the function called by hand) are made via $$dyncall_external which
requires some registers setting, this is taken care of if we call
via a function pointer variable, but not via a function address.
In cc this is not a problem. */

message only if the compiler used was HP's aCC.
If we used HP's cc, then there is no problem and no need
to return at this point */
