Hi. I'm just porting the process record function to an ARM similar arch.
To initialize the struct linux_record_tdep, one has to collect the
size of various types.
Is there some way to do this beside diving into the kernel source or
system including files?
Why not finish the collecting during the configure stage?

Thank you.
