Hi,

Building HEAD on a native gdb on sparc solaris 9 with gcc 3.4.6 stops due to:

The attached patch gets me going.

config/sparc/nm-sol2.h has these, so it looks safe on sparc:

#define GDB_GREGSET_T prgregset_t
#define GDB_FPREGSET_T prfpregset_t

Here's a simplified preprocessed output of sol-thread.c:

typedef prgregset_t gdb_gregset_t;
typedef prfpregset_t gdb_fpregset_t;

extern void supply_gregset (struct regcache *regcache,
       const gdb_gregset_t *gregs);

extern void supply_fpregset (struct regcache *regcache,
        const gdb_fpregset_t *fpregs);

static void
sol_thread_fetch_registers (struct regcache *regcache, int regnum)
{
  prgregset_t gregset;
  prfpregset_t fpregset;

  supply_gregset (regcache, (const gdb_gregset_t *) &gregset);
  supply_fpregset (regcache, (const gdb_fpregset_t *) &fpregset);
}

But I'm not sure it's correct, since the i386 sparc config files don't set
GDB_{G|FP}REGSET, so they should be defaulting to:

gregset.h:

#ifndef GDB_GREGSET_T
#define GDB_GREGSET_T gregset_t
#endif

#ifndef GDB_FPREGSET_T
#define GDB_FPREGSET_T fpregset_t
#endif

I ran the testsuite on it, and this is what I got:
