No I didn't.  I don't read every message on this list.

The part that's mentioned in the changelog entry is OK, except
you can remove sparc_skip_prologue_frameless_p (and say so in
the changelog) rather than rewrite it.

The parts that are NOT mentioned in the changelog (your changes
to the logic in sparc_init_extra_frame_info) are not OK, first
because you didn't mention them in the changelog, and second 
because I can't convince myself that they are right.

I'd like you to resubmit this patch with those modifications, please.

Michael
