OK, I changed the line as follows in my copy of the patch

    entry_point = gdbarch_skip_entrypoint (gdbarch, sal.pc);
 
   if  ((pc < alt_entry_point) || (pc > entry_point))
     {
-      /* We are in the body of the function.  Set a breakpoint to backup to
+      /* We are in the body of the function.  Set a breakpoint to go back to
 	 the normal entry point.  */
       symtab_and_line sr_sal;

I think that addresses your concern.  It is not worth resending the
patch at this point for this change but will include it in any future
posts or commits.  Thanks for the feedback.
