Perhaps you could as well take out the declaration of this function
from the #ifdef TREE_CODE in target.h.  But i know too little about
gcc's internals to see why it was inside the TREE_CODE conditional in
the first place, thus i simply gave up at this point, and rather live
with the compiler version as of a week ago (plus Denis' recent fix).

Nah, c'mon.  That's CVS.  Progress causes changes in the general part
of the compiler, and there will always be changes where the original
author doesn't completely oversee all side effects.  It's not
warranted to demand from anybody working on gcc that (s)he's always
going to configure and compile it for each and any target before
changing something.

There's a saying in German telling that only people who are working
make errors.  People who don't work don't make errors. :-)

So i'd consider this kind of failure acceptable for a version checked
out straight from CVS, provided a reasonable attempt is made to fix
this within the next days (say, at least on next weekend).
