Re: hppa build broken


Dave,

How about this patch to pa_block.  It seems to work well for me
and causes no regressions.  I got an XPASS on hppa/parse/block1.s.  The
bigger I make BFRAG_SIZE, the faster it runs, but the more memory it
takes.  On my HP-UX PA workstation I could run block1.s in about 2.5
minutes with the patch vs. 30+ minutes without the patch.
