   Is that the official target kernel?  I still run 2.0.34 (!) and an
   unpatched gdb doesn't work on my box.

Is that gdb-4.18 or the current CVS version?

I have been hacking on the Linux i386 native support file last week,
and I realized that since that file uses PTRACE_GETREGS, it won't work
on linux 2.0.x, and won't even compile on a libc5 system.  Looks like
support for these systems was sacrificed for the SSE register
support.

Are there any other problems you know of?
