Well, ouch. Here are the threads I found
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-12/msg00322.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-11/msg00101.html

If you look through the monthly archives there are some detached
sub-threads as well.
I found it pretty hard to find the conclusion. IIUC what actually went
in was a patch to have gdbserver read the remote /proc entries and serve
them up verbatim, for parsing locally.
For those opposed to "info proc" working on core files, if you are still
opposed, let me know. I guess I can resurrect Sergio's "info core"
command.
