dual-arch x86_64/i386 gdb for linux

Hi.  Are there any remaining issues for having one gdb
binary support
both x86_64 and i386 natively on linux?  Several things seem
to work,
and for the things that don't work I'm not sure if it's
pilot error or
work that is still todo.  I realize improved multi-arch
support has
just gone in or is going in, but x86_64/i386 is a bit of a
special
case.

Could you elaborate - what doesn't work?  I'd expect
everything to,
nowadays.  There used to be trouble with libthread_db and
LinuxThreads, but NPTL's libthread_db should be fine.

It was thread support.  I'll try again with NPTL.
Thanks.
