Re: [PATCH] Add alias for kernel's NT_PRFPREG from linux/elf.h.


Even Solaris seems to use NT_PRFPREG.  So at this point I don't really
know where the NT_FPREGSET name came from.  (My best guess is that a
past version of Solaris used that name, since I don't really know
where else we would have gotten these.)

I think we should declare NT_PRFPREG canonical.  That is, it should say:

#define NT_PRFPREG	2		/* Contains copy of fpregset struct */
#define NT_FPREGSET	NT_PRFPREG	/* Obsolete name for NT_PRFPREG.  */

Similar changes should be made in binutils/inlcude/elf/common.h and the
bfd and binutils code that uses it should change to use NT_PRFPREG.


Thanks,
Roland
