>Description:
All the targets I looked at fell into one or more of the following categories:

- store_struct_return() was empty (everything handled by push arguments()).

- store_struct_return() was setting a register (can easily be handled by push_arguments())

- store_struct_return() was saving the address in a static variable (ulgh!!) (can be handled by push_arguments or eliminated once some changes are in place).

- store_struct_return() was doing something wierd (sparc only) involving writing the value into memory (can, I think, still be moved to push_arguments()).
