Thanks for the information. Although I didn't post the original question,
this problem has been something that I have tried in vain to solve for a
while now.
Unfortunately I cannot find "elf_prstatus" in the source for gdb, although
there are plenty of references to "prstatus" in both elfcore.h and
elf-bfd.h, as well as references to "bfd_prstatus" in elfcore.h. There are
also references to "prstatus_t" in the configure file.
I presume that this is a relatively easy thing to fix if you have a few
more clues about programming development tools than I do. If possible, I
wonder if you would mind expanding a little on which files need to be
patched etc.
Thanks very much.
