Did we settle on this being the solution though?
Not as far as I know.
I think the
/proc/PID/auxv approach is a bit cleaner.
Yep. More importantly it solves the general case.
We're talking about core files, so what you mean is an NT_AUXV note that
would give the same information that /proc/PID/auxv would give for a live
process. It remains to see whether the auxv approach will be accepted in
the kernel.
Perhaphs someone should find out. What's the best mailing list?
If that is done, then the corelow.c patch will be superfluous.
Right. And I think both GDB and the Linux kernel will be the better for it.
