I think it is only pedantry - it does fail to compile

cc: Error: ../../gdb-19991116/gdb/target.c, line 2840: In this statement, "current_target.to_rcmd" and "(void ...)tcomplain" cannot be compared for equality or inequality. (noequality)

If make_cleanups was already present in 19991116, then it has already compiled
without erroring out, otherwise I'll find out when I build the new snapshot
on the alpha.
