I believe this caused a build regression on i386. After this patch
series went in various buildbot i386 buildslaves builds started failing:
http://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/waterfall

../../binutils-gdb/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c: In function âfetch_xstateregsâ:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c:329:8: error: âhave_ptrace_getregsetâ undeclared (first use in this function)
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c:329:8: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c: In function âstore_xstateregsâ:
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/i386-linux-nat.c:352:8: error: âhave_ptrace_getregsetâ undeclared (first use in this function)
make[2]: *** [i386-linux-nat.o] Error 1

Could you take a look?

Thanks,
