I created <sys/procfs.h> for bfd and gdb. Now you changed the meanings
of those types I created in <sys/procfs.h>, no matter how inappropriate
they were. At least, you should provide a way at the C preprocesser
level for bfd and gdb to tell that they are changed. It is very
irresponsible for you not to do so. Basically, what you did is change
API in <sys/procfs.h>. Please fix it.

Thanks.
