SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R
>Description:
N_PATCH (0xd0), which is output by Sun's workshop
compilers now and then, isn't properly ignored by gdb.
>How-To-Repeat:
Unfortunately I have no test-file for this (and messages
about it only appears with "set complaints 1").
>Fix:
Add N_PATCH to the set of known (and ignored) stabs entries.
