Hi,

I saw that ELF core dumps contain the TASKSTRUCT struct in its note section.
I was wondering what does GDB use that for? Since I'm converting a different
dump to an ELF dump, is it ok if I leave it out? What functionalities of GDB
would I be losing?

Thanks,
Lucy

Probably none.  Only in a.out dumps did we really use that, I believe.
