Right :-)
If you remember to include your name in comment when you send patch

If HP-UX's calling convention is RISC-like (I suspect so), sparc
can be the good starting point. Since RISC-like convention use
several registers specially to pass some arguments.
While the calling convention is CISC-like, m68k can be the good
starting point. You can find a fully assembly language version
in 'config/m68k/common.h' but a heavily gnu-cc dependent version
in 'config/m68k/sunos4/md.h'. The later does similar as sparc
version but not using any special treatment for 'first some
argument'. Thanks CISC architecture :-)
Even though sparc version is more complicated than m68k, it is
much simpler than (ABI based) mips version :-<
