Right... the comment to the definition of ELF_NREG says "we really need
just 72 but let's leave some headroom..."  In fact, GDB only uses 55
slots.  And the change would make GDB consistent in itself; that's why I
just declared 55 slots here.

However, an old GDB rejects a core file that doesn't have exactly 128
register slots.  Thus it certainly makes sense to increase this constant
to 128 * 8, such that users can write a core file with a new GDB and
read it with an old one.

OK, done.

Absolutely.  Fixed.

Incremental patch below.
