Great! I always wanted to have this feature.

I have not tried the gdb patch, yet. It does support 'info float' now?
Anyway, it would be nice if you could upload your gdb binary as well,
so people don't have to recompile gdb just to make use of your patch.

I agree that this should go into the standard kernel, and recommend
submitting it to Linus.

Thanks,
