Where is that change supposed to be???
I ran 
   diff -b -c -r gdb-5.1/gdb gdb-5.1.1/gdb > 51to511diffs
and 
   grep  "diff -b" 51to511diffs

The only i386 specific file that is changed is go32-nat.c...

It remark comes a little too late, sorry...

Sigh,

Your right.  I based the news on the ChangeLog without checking for

It seems like there was an error here...
I don't see the corresponding log entry

Parsing back, I found this email from gdb-cvs mailing list,
but this only changes the ChangeLog file without changing
the i387-nat.c .....

Hmm...

Yep, I still have that patch sitting in my sandbox.  I've just committed
it.

Sorry about that.
