Something like this?  Then the original inferior_ptid will be
restored when you do

+  if (call_function_by_hand (waitpid_fn, 3, argv) == 0)
+    return -1;
do_cleanups();

+  return 0;
+}

That won't work. You will hit an assertion somewhere: either because inferior_ptid is not found in the linux-nat.c lwp list, or because inferior_ptid is not found in gdb's thread list. I believe you'll need to do a full linux_nat_switch_fork and back.


There you go. ;-)
