We discussed this on irc a bit and I thought I'd email the list to keep
the thread up-to-date.
First, Yao sees that lval_memory on x86, but I don't see it on x86-64.
I wonder whether it is a bug elsewhere.
Second, Pedro pointed out this PR:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7574
... which seems apropos. It seems that the best thing is a generic
"target changed" notification for the reasons mentioned there.
