You're right.

BTW, the gdb/procfs.c file is long overdue for an overall face
lift... All the !NEW_PROC_API code should be dead, AFAIK. Despite
the comments at the top, the file is no longer used for any
target other than Solaris:
$ grep -rn "[^-]procfs\.o" gdb/config/
gdb/config/sparc/sol2.mh:5: procfs.o proc-api.o proc-events.o proc-flags.o proc-why.o
gdb/config/i386/sol2-64.mh:3: procfs.o proc-api.o proc-events.o proc-flags.o proc-why.o
gdb/config/i386/i386sol2.mh:3: procfs.o proc-api.o proc-events.o proc-flags.o proc-why.o
The other Unix ports mentioned are all gone.
But I'm surprised that your Solaris build is including some
"old_procfs.h" though. I thought that any non-ancient Solaris
version would be going through NEW_PROC_API too.
Doesn't this bit in gdb/configure.ac pick NEW_PROC_API for you
in 32-bit mode? :
# Detect which type of /proc is in use, such as for Solaris.
if test "${target}" = "${host}"; then
case "${host}" in
*-*-sysv4.2* | *-*-sysv5* )
AC_DEFINE(NEW_PROC_API, 1,
[Define if you want to use new multi-fd /proc interface.])
;;
*-*-solaris2.[[6789]] | *-*-solaris2.1[[0-9]]*)
AC_DEFINE(NEW_PROC_API, 1,
[Define if you want to use new multi-fd /proc interface.])
;;
mips-sgi-irix5*)
# Work around <sys/proc.h> needing _KMEMUSER problem on IRIX 5.
AC_DEFINE([_KMEMUSER], 1,
[Define to 1 so <sys/proc.h> gets a definition of anon_hdl. Works
around a <sys/proc.h> problem on IRIX 5.])
;;
esac
fi
It'd be great to find someone motivated to clean this all up. :-)
At least to make sure that the 32-bit and 64-bit compilations
take the same paths in the backend...
FYI, AFAIK, no GDB maintainer cares for/tests on Solaris
routinely nowadays.

Still OK.
