Hello

I fixed a bug in Linux ptrace emulation on the PowerPC. It's located in
machine independent code, and I'm not sure this fix would not break non
PowerPC ports (that is, i386, since Alpha and m68k do not seem to have a
strong ptrace support).

Therefore, I'm looking for someone who could test emulation of
Linux/i386 gdb on a Linux process and check that this patch does not
decrease gdb functionnality.
