While I do not disagree either from a pragmatic (ability to test) and a
philosophical point of view, if somebody who cares speaks up with the
required info I think we should try to continue to support the HP
compilers. Of course if we cannot get to the required information we
shouldn't hold up progress in supporting gcc.

I'll submit a patch to gdb-patches to implement this for hppa64 shortly.
