We can use bool now, because we moved to C++ :)

I diff aarch64-core.xml and aarch64_ilp32-core.xml, and see a lot of
differences,

> +  <reg name="sp" bitsize="64" type="int64"/>

s/int64/uint64/ ?

> +

-  <reg name="sp" bitsize="64" type="data_ptr"/>
+  <reg name="sp" bitsize="64" type="int64"/>
 
-  <reg name="pc" bitsize="64" type="code_ptr"/>
+  <reg name="pc" bitsize="64" type="uint64"/>

Do we really need these changes? I know data_ptr and code_ptr is 32-bit
on ilp32, but registers are 64-bit.  However, I still think we shouldn't
create different target descriptions for different ABIs, because target
description is about the hardware stuff.  If we add target descriptions
for different ABIs, we have to add two copies of target descriptions for
two ABIs every time a new hardware feature is added.  That is a pain of
maintenance.

Could you remove these ilp32 xml files, use the existing aarch64 target
description, and try the patch below?

Note that x32 adds xml files some years ago
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-04/msg00018.html but I think
the idea is still worth baking and the x32 patch was not fully reviewed.

-    <field name="SP" start="0" end="0"/>
+    <field name="SP" start="0" type="bool"/>

Why is that? out of sync, maybe?  That may be no longer a question if we
don't need ilp32 target description.

ilp32 GDBserver can't debug lp64 program?
