Re: Unifying i387 support


So, correct me if I'm wrong, but here is our current plan, as I
understand it:

- Choose a register layout which includes all registers present in the
  latest Pentiums and the various non-Intel architectures (like 3DNow
  registers).  
- Choose a standard set of macros indicating the interesting register
  ranges and numbers.
- Create a file containing these in gdb/config/i386, and convert our
  respective targets (Linux, DJGPP, Hurd) to use it.
- Write a common set of i387-handling functions which support the
  common layout.
