Hello Daisuke,
Just pinging you to see if you have you come any closer to updating
the gcore extension module?
Thanks,

 The ARM64 machine I'm building on is based upon glibc-headers-2.17-55.11,
 But /usr/include/sys/procfs.h has been part of glibc-headers since at
 least glibc-headers-2.3.2-95.  So if I understand you correctly, does
 the /usr/include/sys/uncontext.h *not* include <sys/procfs.h> on your
 system?

 That certainly makes the patch much uglier.  Would it be possible to
 explicitly
 #include <sys/procfs.h> encapsulated by #ifdef ARM64 in the relevant places?

 Look, we're getting ahead of things.  Let's defer to Daisuke to decide how he
 is
 going to approach this first.
