Better in the default version of the target hook check the param
whether it should return true or false, and for analyzed targets
just use an always true (or false, depending on what the hook is)
as the hook.

For the debugging of the target issues, you can also use a hack:
in final.c for instructions that have minimum length longer than zero
emit a label right before emitting the insn and after it:
.Lhacke1:
.if (.Lhacke1 - .Lhackb1) == 0
.error "zero length"
.endif
(or perhaps just:
.if (. - .Lhack1) == 0
.error "zero length"
.endif
), then make check various targets with that.
