Whoa, GDB doesn't support reading core files on ARM Linux?  This is
incredible but it sure looks as if it's true.  Unfortunately your
patch isn't quite right.

You can't use deprecated_add_core_fns(), since it is, well,
deprecated.  Please implement arm_linux_regset_from_core_section().  I
think the simplest example on how to implement it is in
vax_regset_from_core_section().

Also please rename the ELF_XXX you're using into ARM_ELF_XXX to avoid
potential clashes with Linux system header files.
