This patch
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-01/msg00195.html
breaks Linux targets which don't use PTRACE_GETFPXREGS. The problem is
<sys/ptrace.h> has
/* Single step the process.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP = 9,
#define PT_STEP PTRACE_SINGLESTEP
/* Get all general purpose registers used by a processes.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_GETREGS = 12,
#define PT_GETREGS PTRACE_GETREGS
/* Set all general purpose registers used by a processes.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_SETREGS = 13,
#define PT_SETREGS PTRACE_SETREGS
/* Get all floating point registers used by a processes.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_GETFPREGS = 14,
#define PT_GETFPREGS PTRACE_GETFPREGS
/* Set all floating point registers used by a processes.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_SETFPREGS = 15,
#define PT_SETFPREGS PTRACE_SETFPREGS
/* Get all extended floating point registers used by a processes.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_GETFPXREGS = 18,
#define PT_GETFPXREGS PTRACE_GETFPXREGS
/* Set all extended floating point registers used by a processes.
This is not supported on all machines. */
PTRACE_SETFPXREGS = 19,
#define PT_SETFPXREGS PTRACE_SETFPXREGS
You can't assume you can use PTRACE_GETFPXREGS if it is defined. Due
to that change, gdb won't build on Linux/mips. I am afraid the current
gdb from CVS may be broken even without that patch:
