* sparc-tdep.c (sparc_is_unimp_insn): New function.

        (sparc32_frame_cache): For functions where there is no debugging
        information to help us determine whether it's a struct-return
        function or not, fallback on checking whether the instruction
        at the return address is an "unimp" instruction or not.
