I never created a branch in the repository but kept merging changes in the
repository to my/Apple's changes.

This worked OK until:  

2006-03-24  Daniel Jacobowitz  <dan@codesourcery.com>

	* linux-nat.c (linux_ops_saved): New.
	(super_mourn_inferior, kill_inferior, threaded, linux_nat_ops)
	(child_mourn_inferior, child_wait, linux_nat_create_inferior)
	(linux_nat_fetch_registers, linux_nat_store_registers)
	(linux_nat_child_post_startup_inferior, init_linux_nat_ops): Delete.
	...

Have you any one liners that might help me understand these changes and what
I can do to get GDB to work asynchronously again (at least for Linux).

Does this patch relate to (3 Oct 2005):
