Hello, The attached does to the i386 what MichaelL recently did to x86-64 - make the code that reads core files work cross platform. While this change is independant of the x86-64 change, it does work better when combined with that. i386 native showed no regressions. A cross GDB was able to read i386 native generated core files. Please note that gcore doesn't work cross though - problems in linux-proc.c. I've filed a bug report. ok? 6.0? Andrew
