I updated my patch according to the comments from Eli and Joel. Thanks to both.

Eli, I added a comment in p-lang.c that is not really conform to standards, but the whole file uses similar comments. Should I reformat them? In a separate patch?

To GPC developers: there is a blank in the patch: Joel proposed to tell up to which version of GPC, the old name was used. I have no idea about that, could someone please tell me. By the way, is there some publically readable CVS tree for GPC sources?

As stated in a previous email, the patch does not seem to generate new failures in the testsuite.

* p-lang.h (pascal_main_name): New function. p-lang.c (GPC_MAIN_PROGRAM_NAME_1), (GPC_MAIN_PROGRAM_NAME_2): New char array constants corresponding to the two minimal symbols used by GPC compiler. (pascal_main_name): Try to find minimal symbol corresponding to the entry of GPC compiled programs. symtab.c: New include p-lang.h. (find_main_name): Try to find pascal specific main name by calling pascal_main_name. * Makefile.in (symtab.o): Add dependency on p-lang header.
