My original post gave one example, here's another:
static struct type * mips_float_register_type (void) { if (TARGET_BYTE_ORDER == BFD_ENDIAN_BIG) return builtin_type_ieee_single_big; else return builtin_type_ieee_single_little; }
Is all over the place. This:
builtin_type_ieee_single[gdbarch_byte_order (gdbarch)]
is shorter and correct.
Ah OK. But is this going to get used for some other target than MIPS? It seems to me that you're introducing a lot of machinery just to make life a bit easier there.
bounds checking too, so I really doubt whether it is much simpler.

local to gdb?
Whatever.
