Well, replacing the macro by a gdbarch function invalidates the whole point
the comment is making ;-)  You should either use another macro (that still
is a macro) as example, or -once there are no macros left- remove that
comment.


+  builtin_type_float = build_flt (gdbarch_float_bit (current_gdbarch), "float",
+				  gdbarch_float_format (current_gdbarch));
+  builtin_type_double = build_flt (gdbarch_double_bit (current_gdbarch),
+				   "double",
+				   gdbarch_double_format (current_gdbarch));
+  builtin_type_long_double = build_flt (gdbarch_long_double_bit
+					  (current_gdbarch),
+					"long double",
+					gdbarch_long_double_format
+					  (current_gdbarch));
It might be nicer to move the built_flt to its own line
   builtin_type_long_double
     = build_fld (gdbarch_long_double_bit (current_gdbarch),
              ... 

Otherwise this is OK, thanks!
