    Do you have any in particular in mind?

If the idea is to eventually convert *all* target macros, then most are
in that category (though "half dozen" should probabaly have been "few dozen").

From alpha.h:

#define WORD_SWITCH_TAKES_ARG(STR)		\
 (!strcmp (STR, "rpath") || DEFAULT_WORD_SWITCH_TAKES_ARG(STR))
#define TARGET_FLOAT_FORMAT \
  (TARGET_FLOAT_VAX ? VAX_FLOAT_FORMAT : IEEE_FLOAT_FORMAT)
#define PROMOTE_MODE(MODE,UNSIGNEDP,TYPE)  \
  if (GET_MODE_CLASS (MODE) == MODE_INT		\
      && GET_MODE_SIZE (MODE) < UNITS_PER_WORD)	\
    {						\
      if ((MODE) == SImode)			\
	(UNSIGNEDP) = 0;			\
      (MODE) = DImode;				\
    }
#define HARD_REGNO_NREGS(REGNO, MODE)   \
  ((GET_MODE_SIZE (MODE) + UNITS_PER_WORD - 1) / UNITS_PER_WORD)
#define HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK(REGNO, MODE) 				\
  ((REGNO) >= 32 && (REGNO) <= 62 					\
   ? (MODE) == SFmode || (MODE) == DFmode || (MODE) == DImode		\
   : 1)
#define VECTOR_MODE_SUPPORTED_P(MODE) \
  (TARGET_MAX \
   && ((MODE) == V8QImode || (MODE) == V4HImode || (MODE) == V2SImode))
#define MODES_TIEABLE_P(MODE1, MODE2) 				\
  (HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK (32, (MODE1))				\
   ? HARD_REGNO_MODE_OK (32, (MODE2))				\
   : 1)
#define SECONDARY_MEMORY_NEEDED_MODE(MODE)		\
  (GET_MODE_CLASS (MODE) == MODE_FLOAT ? (MODE)		\
   : GET_MODE_SIZE (MODE) >= 4 ? (MODE)			\
   : mode_for_size (BITS_PER_WORD, GET_MODE_CLASS (MODE), 0))
#define CLASS_MAX_NREGS(CLASS, MODE)				\
 ((GET_MODE_SIZE (MODE) + UNITS_PER_WORD - 1) / UNITS_PER_WORD)
#define CANNOT_CHANGE_MODE_CLASS(FROM, TO, CLASS)		\
  (GET_MODE_SIZE (FROM) != GET_MODE_SIZE (TO)			\
   ? reg_classes_intersect_p (FLOAT_REGS, CLASS) : 0)
#define REGISTER_MOVE_COST(MODE, CLASS1, CLASS2)	\
  (((CLASS1) == FLOAT_REGS) == ((CLASS2) == FLOAT_REGS)	\
   ? 2							\
   : TARGET_FIX ? 3 : 4+2*alpha_memory_latency)
#define MEMORY_MOVE_COST(MODE,CLASS,IN)  (2*alpha_memory_latency)
#define INITIAL_ELIMINATION_OFFSET(FROM, TO, OFFSET) \
  ((OFFSET) = alpha_initial_elimination_offset(FROM, TO))
#define FUNCTION_VALUE_REGNO_P(N)  \
  ((N) == 0 || (N) == 1 || (N) == 32 || (N) == 33)
#define FUNCTION_ARG_REGNO_P(N) \
  (((N) >= 16 && (N) <= 21) || ((N) >= 16 + 32 && (N) <= 21 + 32))
#define INIT_CUMULATIVE_ARGS(CUM,FNTYPE,LIBNAME,INDIRECT)  (CUM) = 0
#define FUNCTION_ARG_PASS_BY_REFERENCE(CUM, MODE, TYPE, NAMED) \
  ((MODE) == TFmode || (MODE) == TCmode)


... and so on ...
