RE: ppc64 altivec registers?

Hi,

Does anyone here know how to fix the configuration of the kernel so that
gdb can find the altivec registers? The last time I heard from Andrew
Cagney he said :

"At the time the code was written it was for a special altivec kernel /
build / config. Hence it was only enabled when built powerpc-*-*altivec.
Time has passed and that restriction no longer applies. I'll see about
removing it."

TIA!
