Thanks, I've committed the attached patch to the gdb-5.0 branch and the
trunk.

At present the gdb-5.0/TODO file contains:

so IRIX 6.x is a known problem.  If someone comes up with a simple small
self contained patch in time for gdb-5.0 then it might go in.  I suspect
that getting it sorted in 5.1 is a better option.  This is consistent
with FreeBSD and a few other platforms.
