This part is a little different from my original patch, which is

+	if test x${want64} = xtrue ; then
+	CORE_HEADER='"hosts/x86-64linux.h"'
+	fi

This requires something different in configure options.  In my previous 
patch, when configure i686-pc-linux-gnu-gdb to handle bi-arch, we run 
configure with '--enable-64-bit-bfd'.  In current trunk (w/ your patch), 
we have to run configure with '--enable-targets=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'.

Copy gdb@ here to make sure GDB people are aware of this change, 
otherwise, configuring gdb with '--enable-64-bit-bfd' only still doesn't 
work for handling x86-64 corefile on x86 gdb.
