Yes, thanks.  I've included a revised version of my patch below.

Well, gdbarch is never supposed to change the default behavior of
macros; this helps us convert pre-gdbarch targets incrementally.
Simply turning on gdbarch for one's target ideally wouldn't change its
behavior at all.

[Hurd needs 6.  Take 8, since it does no real harm.]


Package: gdb
Severity: normal
Tags: patch, sid

Hello,

GDB will crash on the Hurd after issuing the 'show' and hitting enter
a few times:

../../gdb/ui-out.c:130: gdb-internal-error: push_level: Assertion       +`uiout->level >= 0 && uiout->level < MAX_UI_OUT_LEVELS' failed.

the problem is that MAX_UI_OUT_LEVELS is not high enough for the extra
option we have on the Hurd, it should be rised to 6 then, which works
fine:

now.

 Hi,

gdb fails to build from source on m68k because some definitions have
been removed from tm-m68k.h. The patch below readds them.

If the target stack worked in any logical way, this wouldn't be necessary...
ending up with roughly:
  thread_stratum: thread-db (silent reference to lin-lwp)
  core_stratum: corelow
  exec_stratum: exec
  dummy_stratum: dummy
just makes no sense.

This patch fixes debugging threaded applications which are statically linked
without breaking debugging threaded core files.  It also fixes the PIDs in
generate-core-file'd corefiles.  Mostly.
