Andrew,

I finally had a look at this problem.

I believe you are right. I did a bit of archeology, but could not
find the purpose of this undef.

Before you added the '#define CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION ON_STACK' when you
changed the default value for CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION, there was no such
defined in tm-hppa.h... So the undef was useless, and now seems to
cause some breakage on hppa64.

Short of understanding completely the issues at hand, I simply ran the
testsuite with and without the #undef, and found that that results are
sensibly better without (ie, to my relief, you guess right about hppa64).

I have the following change ready:

	* config/pa/tm-hppa64.h (CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION): Remove #undef
	causing some regressions due to a change in the default value
	for this macro.
