Re: [RFA] Fix recent compilation errors in alpha-nat.c on alpha-osf

   Thanks for the help. I relaunched the testsuite, and here are the
   results on our Tru64 5.1A machine. They should be identical to
   yesterday's results: 
   
   # of unexpected failures        791

This reminds me of an issue Richard Henderson mentioned to
me.  At least at one point in time gdb got really confused when gcc
used float regs for integer values.  This happens quite often on
Alpha, and can happen on other systems too (Sparc when usage of
VIS instructions is enabled).

Does GDB still have a problem with this situation?
