+ * 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.
