Um, yes.  Sorry.  Can you make it conditional on ``GDB_MULTI_ARCH''
rather than adding your own macro?  You should be able to enable/disable
multi-arch by configuring with ``--enable-gdb-multi-arch={yes,no}''.

Unfortunately I cannot do this, the only way I could accomplish this is
move all the macros into the
s390-tdep.c file but I think it would be better to make them so that gdb
doesn't process them as
tm.h etc & I explicitly include them in s390-tdep.c

The reason I have this switch is so that I can get the macros when I want
them for processing in
s390-tdep.c while the rest of the code will ignore them so that they don't
clash with the multi arch macros.
It can't be switched on GDB_MULTI_ARCH.

I'll forward your concerns about s390-regs-common.h to our legal guys here
& they can clear up this problem.
