Hi,
the ucontext patch fixed the mcontext/ucontext structures but it
broke core file reading with gdb. The last patch changed gregset_t
and with it the elf_prstatus structure. To preserve compatability
with the old core file format we'd like to change the gregset_t
back but leave the mcontext/ucontext in the new format. That is
gregset_t and mcontext are two seperate things now. I don't think
anything speaks against that, does it?

     * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/ucontext.h: Revert the change
     of the gregset_t type.
     * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/ucontext.h: Likewise.
