Thanks, this generally looks ok to me.

One question I have is if you need nat/x86-xstate.o for the native Hurd x86_64
target?  The i686 target doesn't use it and I didn't see any references in
the patches to XSAVE support, so I suspect you don't need it.  Were you getting
a link error without it, or is it something you copied from Linux x86_64?  If
the latter, it is probably best to drop it for now until you add XSAVE support
in the future (which would presumably apply to both i686 and x86_64).

You are right, nat/x86-xstate it's not needed yet. I mailed a second version of this
patch without requiring nat/x86-xstate.o plus some updates to make sure the code
still compiles with the newest changes in GDB.

Thank you
