FYI,
Below is the relevant section of the internals manual.
Andrew
@item CALL_DUMMY_P
A C expresson that is non-zero when the target suports inferior function
calls.
@item CALL_DUMMY_WORDS
Pointer to an array of @var{LONGEST} words of data containing
host-byte-ordered @var{REGISTER_BYTES} sized values that partially
specify the sequence of instructions needed for an inferior function
call.
Should be deprecated in favour of a macro that uses target-byte-ordered
data.
@item SIZEOF_CALL_DUMMY_WORDS
The size of @var{CALL_DUMMY_WORDS}. When @var{CALL_DUMMY_P} this must
return a positive value. See also @var{CALL_DUMMY_LENGTH}.
@item CALL_DUMMY
A static initializer for @var{CALL_DUMMY_WORDS}. Deprecated.
