I've two patches forthcoming that unbreak the Solaris 11.4 build: as
reported in

      Bug 25981	- Use of short i386 register names breaks compilation on recent Solaris 11.4

a forthcoming Solaris 11.4 update will include a change to
<sys/regset.h> that will break the gdb build (very few other packages
are affected).  I have patches ready (one each for amd64 and i386), but
withheld them for a bit while the exact changes to <sys/regset.h> were
being fleshed out.  I expect to post them tomorrow.

It would be nice if they could be included in gdb 9.2 so we have a
release that compiles and works (master is currently badly broken since
the multi-target merge: Bug 25939).  Both patches are simple, so the
risk should be minimal.

	Rainer
