Re: [patch/rfc] Build inf-ptrace.o when ptrace available
Going forward we need to get GNU/Linux and other systems using procfs
and an obvious migration path for that is to build support for both
procfs and ptrace into a single GDB. The default being to use ptrace.
The /proc on Linux is not even close to a "real" procfs.
Fortunatly, that can be fixed (just like any other kernel bug - we've
been seeing success in that area recently ;-).
