Fedora Core 3 GDB Update: 2004-427 Moderate DWARF-2 Workaround

GDB, the GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++,

and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion and

printing their data.

#136455 workaround to prevent gdb from failing and getting stuck when

hitting certain DWARF-2 symbols.

- Hack around broken PT_FPSCR defined in headers.

- Import latest s390 fixes.

- Disable sigstep.exp - s390 has problems.

- Use PC's symtab when looking for a symbol.

- Work around DW_OP_piece.

* Fri Oct 22 2004 Andrew Cagney <cagney@redhat.com> 1.200400607.42
