long double in gdb for x86?


Hi,

I managed to add FP number support to gdb for Linux/x86. But I have a
problem with the FP number print in gdb:

(gdb) whatis $st0
type = double
(gdb) p (long double) $st0
Can't deal with a floating point number of 16 bytes.
(gdb)

The problem is the FP number in x87 register is stored in long double 
format. But gdb doesn't know how to print them. I was wondering if
anyone had added x87 long double support to gdb.

Thanks.
