Re: [PATCH 2/2] coredump: add a new elf note with siginfo fields ofthe signal

[Roland McGrath]

Other ELF notes have per-machine layouts too.  It's far more important to
reduce the total number of ways we have to represent the same information.
On a given machine, we already have a layout and we don't want another.
Debuggers and so forth already know how to handle the per-machine layouts.
The core file is just another way to get the same chunk of data you can get
from the live process.
