Are there any reasons against removing !TARGET_BIG_SWITCH support?

would really help if this code can go away...
Yes, branch distances are limited to what can be encoded in a
17-bit pc relative offset.
Large code will break with !TARGET_BIG_SWITCH.
That would be a reason why !TARGET_BIG_SWITCH *can* go away ;-)
TARGET_BIG_SWITCH i.e. -mbig-switch is the default for all hppa
targets since your 2004 patch. !TARGET_BIG_SWITCH i.e. -mno-big-switch
is not tested in the test suite and probably not used by anymore. And
it's the -mno-big-switch that's causing me headaches.
I was mixed up on which option was causing grief. "-mno-big-switch"
can go. Probably, nobody will notice...
