I've tried it on AIX 4.3, which defines CORE_VERSION_1 as 2. I'm in the
process of testing it on AIX 4.1, which defines it as 1.

Actually, that code is within an "#ifndef CORE_VERSION_1" envelope, so it
shouldn't affect CORE_VERSION_1 boxes.

Point well-taken, but sadly I don't have access to AIX pre-4.1. If anyone
who does is interested in making GDB work on their system, I'd be willing
to work with them on back-porting problems.
