Another option other is to rename the local variable ``gdbarch'' to 
``current_gdbarch''.  Check my other patch to gdbarch_alloc() which was 
forced to do just that.

Personally, though, I'd prefer to be doing none of the above.  Instead 
just eliminate that global current_gdbarch and parameterize everthing 
.... :-)

enjoy,
