looking for the patch on GDB to handle core dump from arm

[Jean-Rene Peulve]

Hi,

On an x86, I am trying to analyse a core dump produiced on an arm platform 
running uClinux-2.4.27.

Unfortunately GDB complains that it cannot "read core file on this machine".

I saw that Jon Ringle and Daniel Jacobowitz have been working on that 
problem but I cannot find the
right version of gdb and binutils to use.

Where can I find the correct version and or the patches to apply ?

I fixed that on a local copy of GDB 6.3 by editing the configure
script so it includes the corefile handler even if host != target.  
It may be that I had to make other changes as well, I don't remember
anymore.
