How does this Kernel, for instance, differentate between a GNU/Linux
sparc binary and a Solaris binary when doing emulation?
To make this clear, it doesn't know until the first system call
is made, this is a fact. The trap used for system calls are
different, but the binary information is identical.
Only the bfd/executable information is available at the time we
make gdbarch decisions.
Can we get over this issue so I can get to the more globally (read as:
changes that get 64-bit Solaris/Sparc actually working) useful bits of
my contributions? :(
