Hi John,

I have two little comments, but otherwise it LGTM.

I get this:

/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/fbsd-tdep.c: In function ‘void fbsd_core_info_proc_status(gdbarch*)’:
/home/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/fbsd-tdep.c:791:29: error: variable ‘descend’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
   unsigned char *descdata, *descend;
                             ^~~~~~~

What's the rationale behind that computation?  The field ru_majflt in kp->ki_rusage_ch
is the furthest field we'll actually need in this function?  And addr_bit is the size of
that field?  And 4 is because there's a field at the beginning containing the size of
the structure that comes after?

Maybe a small comment would be good to remove the magic.

Thanks,

Simon
