I see you didn't like my suggestions for consolidating some of these
repetitive code bits across all the architectures. Did you give that a
I have read your suggestion, but the actual ptrace() implementation uses explicit reference to the different architecture dependent registers and I think that this portion of code is more readable if the patch keeps the actual conventions used by Roland.
