Hello,

Ok then, I trust your "equivalency" explanation, and since
in all
probability the code path won't be hit, it should be safe.
In fact, I don't believe that any of the other patches that you
sent will ever be exercised by crash either?
I didn't check it. I just fixed compiler warnings.
But, if they make your compiler happy, that's fine with me...
It's your compiler, too. :) Yes, maybe you use another $RPM_OPT_FLAGS
as we do ...
And given that the gdb module is only utilized as "gdb
vmlinux", as
long as gdb-6.1 is capable of returning structure sizes, member offsets,
code disassembly, etc., then there's no compelling need to upgrade it.
And if there are, the first line of defense would be to patch the current
version than make a wholesale upgrade.
Sounds reasonable.
Regards,
Bernhard
