In article <9038@pt.cs.cmu.edu>, I said:

A couple of helpful people have pointed out that nlist(3) can be used
to obtain the value of the kernel's "_u" symbol, or even easier,

	nm /hp-ux | grep " _u$"

I plan to send in a patch to make gdb obtain this value automatically,
rather than requiring an ever-growing list of kernel-version-dependent
magic constants.  The minimal fix would extract the right value at
gdb build time & insert the correct value in the #define constant;
the other alternative is to use nlist(3) to extract the right value
whenever gdb starts up.  If anyone has any strong feelings on which way
is the right way to go, please e-mail me.
