I guess its the sigtramp stuff.
Indeed.
If the checkin was a straight cut/paste (without edits) I won't notice
:-)
Down the track, there will need to be ``i386-linux-tdep.h'' so that
i386-linux-nat.c can include it. (Hmm, with i386-linux-tdep.c, no
wonder Eli raised a concern).
The 8.3 limit really prevents me from choosing a sensible name here.
So I'll leave the Linux code in i386-tdep.c for now. If we ever come
up with a sensible way to reorganize the GDB sources we can reconsider
things.
