I'd like to resolve it, at least your x87 patch can be used in the
official gdb.

In the meantime, I made a patch for gdb 4.17 to support FPU on
Linux/x86. Here is the ChangeLog. The source code patch and linux/x86
binaries are available at

ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl/gdb-4.17.linux.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/hjl/gdb-4.17.fpu.x86.bz2

I'd like to hear results on libc 5/linux 2.0.3x, libc 5/linux 2.1.xx,
glibc 2.0.x/linux 2.0.3x and glibc 2.0.x/linux 2.1.xx.

Thanks.
