I forwarded the above change to the maintainers requesting their approval.

These two are OK.

This is not.  The expect code must be changed to memorize if the architecture
uses .text or CODE and use it subsequently.

All right.  Godd catch.  Thanks.

You must also add a comment (as is done in so-impl-ld.exp) explaining that this 
is also known to run in Linux (version?).  The comment there says it *must* be
a HP target and we will contradict it with the code.

You are the boss here :-) Let's add this one.



Scott, you can either wait a bit for me to make the changes or, if you find
some spare cycles, do the changes yourself.  We need to wait for the Linux thread
folks to authorize the change to linux-threads.c (which will probably be soon
anyways).

Thanks for the patch.

Fernando
