retitle 579834 Patch to enable a fully working gdb for GNU/Hurd
thanks
Hello,
It looks like the patch in this bug report is missing some details.
Correct patch is attached. The patch will also be reported upstream, but
so far it has not been applied yet. In order to have a fully functional
gdb in GNU/Hurd it would be very good if this patch is included in next
release of gdb_7.2.
Currently the package is built and hosted at debian-ports using an
earlier patch and built with gcc-4.4. gdb-7.2 was built with gcc-4.6.0-5
and successfully tested with the attached patch applied. It should build
cleanly on the GNU/Hurd buildds.
