  I agree, but I thought that doing this step by step would be easier...
My big patches take ages to get in, so I prefer to do it bitwise!

  How could we change this so that this
would only trigger if we are debugging native and not some other 
target?
  
  Could we change the macro
into a test that the current target is native solaris?
I don't know enough on gdbarch and tdep structures
to have an idea how to write such a test.

  Advices welcome.
