   FYI:

   Latest gdb source has a test regression of 200+ as compared to the 7/24
   tree, on i686-pc-linux-gnu.  For example, gdb.base/break.exp:
   ...
   print marker2(99)

   read_register_bytes:  Couldn't update register 16.

   (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/break.exp: hit breakpoint on called function
   ...

Your GDB is obviously having trouble getting at the floating point
registers, and it is more than likely that this is related to the
stuff I checked in yesterday.  However, I don't see directly what
could be causing it.  On my machine everything works just fine.

Can you give a bit more detail about your system (Linux version, libc
version)?  And can you tell me whether HAVE_PTRACE_GETREGS and/or
HAVE_PTRACE_GETFPXREGS are defined (by configure) in config.h?
