Hello,
Generic dummy frames (used when doing inferior function calls) were
added back in 1996, now 8 years later we find that we've still got two
systems (VAX and ns32k) that rely on pre generic-dummy frame mechanisms.
What are peoples thoughts on assuming generic dummy frames? Doing this
would mean removing inferior function call support on the vax and ns32k,
but would also mean removing a significant amount of obsolete code.

(VAX/BSD support isn't complete -- doesn't build; not sure what the
state of ns32k is).
