PATCH 1/1 dlfcn/default fixes for hppa

libc-alpha,

The hppa backend in gcc uses type information to determine if the variable we manipulate is a function descriptor, and thus, on comparisons, make calls behind the scenes to canonicalize that descriptor. When variables are cast to 'void *' all the type information is lost. I've included a patch to the dlfcn/default test that changes some of the casts in the test such as to retain the type information.

What I've done is to cast 'p' to a function pointer of type "(int (*)(int, char **))" rather than casting 'main' to an opaque pointer of type "(void *)". Second to that I've modified test_in_mod[12] to take a variable of type "(int (*)(int, char **))" (the address of the calling main) rather than "(void *)", and carry out the appropriate casting.

This is the only method to do the required casts, and I am open to comments.

Passes tests without regression on i386, and removes the dlfcn/default failure from hppa.

Cheers,
Carlos.

* dlfcn/default.c (main):
Cast dlsym loaded value to same type as main. Address passed to test_in_mod1 and test_in_mod2 without casting.
* dlfcn/defaultmod1.c: Change prototype of test_in_mod1. (test_in_mod1): Cast dlsym loaded value to same type as mainp.
* dlfcn/defaultmod2.c: Change prototype of test_in_mod2. (test_in_mod2): Cast dlsym loaded value to same type as mainp.
