The HP-UX port on the IA-64 architecture defines the MEMBER_TYPE_FORCES_BLK macro with this comment:
Steve Ellcey defined MEMBER_TYPE_FORCES_BLK when he first implemented the ia64-hpux port. At the time, I mentioned using PARALLELs was a better solution, but this was a simpler way for him to get the initial port working. Since then, there have been a lot of bug fixes to the ia64-hpux support by various people: Steve, Zack, Joseph, etc. Looking at the current code, it does appear that all cases are now handled by PARALLELs, and that the definition of MEMBER_TYPE_FORCES_BLK no longer appears to be necessary.
I don't have an ia64-hpux machine, so there is no easy way for me to test this change.
