Yep.

Ah, that.  Ref: Replace $fp with $frame / $gdbframe / $gdb.frame
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=327

Never been a decision.  $ variables are reserved for both builtins and 
registers but the two overlap.  Ok, here's something warped:

	$.auxv

(i.e., "dollar dot auxv" so you know I didn't make a typo :-)
