- Subject: [x86i386-20030821] Fix i386 on x86-64 threads
Hello,
This patch gets GDB working with i386 executables on the x86-64. Note
that you'll also need a really really really recent glibc.
I've checked it into my cagney_x86i386-20030821-branch.

* x86-64-linux-nat.c (ps_get_thread_area): When architecture is
i386 use PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA. Suggested by Roland McGrath.
