gdb/gdb-6.6-vdso-i386-on-amd64-warning.patch
Jan Kratochvil 193a9401d2 - Remove the kernel VDSO workaround (`no loadable ...') (kernel BZ 312011).
Wed Apr 23 2008 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> - 6.8-4
- Backport fix on various forms of threads tracking across exec() (BZ
    442765).
- Testsuite: Include more biarch libraries on %%{multilib_64_archs}.
- Disable the build-id warnings for the testsuite run as they cause some
    FAILs.
- Fix PIE support for 32bit inferiors on 64bit debugger.
- Fix trashing memory on one ada/gnat testcase.
- Make the testsuite results on ada more stable.
