Hi folks,

This is a re-submission of:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-07/msg00264.html

The patch above resolves all review comments which were made on previous
versions (I collected them in the attached .txt, if you wish to have a
look). The problem is that it is malformed (maybe it was hand edited, I
don't know) and doesn't fix a couple of typos in comments.

The attached patch fixes the typos and applies cleanly on current CVS
HEAD.

Regarding this comment from Kevin Buettner (found in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2006-06/msg00382.html):

The information regarding the two linker symbols is outdated. The "dot"
symbols pointing to the function entrypoint are no longer generated by
the toolchain (this is true at least for ppc, I don't know about other
architectures). Tools are expected to automatically generate those
symbols when needed.

Is this ok for inclusion?
