I believe JasonT's drawn your attention to the ARM and, hence, you've 
found a way to resolve this.

Unfortunatly, the changes you're making, while small, are often not 
simple or obvious and, in the case of the patch that went with this 
thread, not correct.

Please also appreciate that GDB runs on international time and most 
everyone on this list has a day job. Your changes will be reviewed but 
perhaphs not in the timeframe you seem to expect.
