Even changes specific to Linux are useful, as one can look at them and
devise similar changes for other x86-based targets.

Are the changes to do this in the current CVS tree?  If so, could you

If you didn't submit your changes, may I suggest to do so?  I think that
the (practical) inability to watch array elements and struct members
is a grave problem.
