Last I looked at this (in 5.3) there was a general presumption in gdb
that it would never support core dump reading in any cross-gdb.
I beat on it for a while to get rid of that assumption; it was not
totally trivial but not all that hard, either. But it was a bit of a
hack job, so I'm not prepared to submit the resulting changes as gdb
patches.
Is this considered the Right Way for it to behave? Or is this a
deficiency that's awaiting fixing in some grand overhaul?
